The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is a declaration adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on December 10, 1948 at the Palais de Chaillot, Paris. The Declaration arose directly from the experience of the Second World War and represents the first global expression of what many believe are the rights to which all human beings are inherently entitled. The UDHR urges member nations to promote a number of human, civil, economic, and social rights, asserting these rights are part of the “foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world.” It aims to recognize, “the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world.” The full text is published by the United Nations on its website.

The UDHR was framed by members of the Human Rights Commission, with Eleanor Roosevelt as Chair, who began to discuss an International Bill of Rights in 1947. The members of the Commission did not immediately agree on the form of such a bill of rights and whether or how it should be enforced.

The Declaration consists of 30 articles which, although not legally binding, have been elaborated in subsequent international treaties, economic transfers, regional human rights instruments, national constitutions, and other laws. The International Bill of Human Rights consists of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and its two Optional Protocols. In 1966, the General Assembly adopted the two detailed Covenants, which complete the International Bill of Human Rights. In 1976, after the Covenants had been ratified by a sufficient number of individual nations, the Bill became an international law.

How did the social structure in Ancient Greece change over time
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

The increasing complexity of the social structure, the formation of social strata with different, conflicting interests created tension in Ancient Greece society, which, in a number of policies, grew into bloody clashes, leading to murders, expulsion, and confiscation of property. These social clashes were caused by the desire to implement a certain socio-political program for the development of a polis. If the military-agricultural aristocracy stood for the adaptation of the tribal system, traditional management institutions to the new conditions, since namely they guaranteed the aristocracy the preservation of its privileges, influence and political power, then the broad masses of farmers, trade and craft circles (unlike the aristocracy, this part people called demos, i.e., people) sought to create new governing bodies in which they could directly participate and which could guarantee them approval private property, rapid economic development, widespread use of slave labor, their personal freedom. History of Greece in 8–6 centuries BC is filled with clashes over the implementation of these development programs. In the 8th - first half of the 7th century BC the military-landowning nobility maintained a dominant position, but, from the middle of the 7th century BC, the political influence of the aristocracy weakened, and its opponents from the midst of the demos gradually pushed the tribal nobility from the dominant position and increased their political influence.
