Legacy Stories are stories that were conceptualised in September 2021, before the timeline was on Tiki-Toki, let alone GitHub. The story in its current form lives here. And you are very welcome to share any thoughts you have on how this story can be improved by commenting below!

Title

Legacy story: Universal Declaration of Human Rights

Date or Period 📅

10-Dec 1948 as per https://www.ohchr.org/en/udhr/pages/udhrindex.aspx

Elevator Pitch

A milestone document in the history of human rights.

Justification

Unformed Thoughts

In response to World War II quite broadly, world leaders established the United Nations (UN), whereby its members “vowed to never again allow atrocities like those of that conflict to happen again [and] decided to complement the UN Charter with a road map to guarantee the rights of every individual everywhere” (UN, n.d.). This would become the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948.
