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.

what actions did japan and germany take in pursuit of their goals that caused Britain, France, and then the United States to dec
bija089 [108]
Germany annexed Austria, then the Sudetenland, and then invaded Czechoslovakia. This made Germany disliked by the allied powers. Germany invaded Poland for Danzig and then that is what pushed France and Britain into war with Germany. Later, Japan reached a stalemate in China, so they expanded their sphere of influence into the pacific. Japan invaded British Malaysia and joined the axis and signed the tripartite pact with Germany and Italy leaving Japan at war with France and the U.K. Japan also bombed Pearl Harbour making the U.S declare war on Japan, Germany then declared war on the U.S, I am not sure why they did this even though they did not have to.
