The Relevance of The Universal Declaration Of Human Rights

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights represents wide area of its aspects. For the same reason it was (and still is) a subject of many disputes ever since it was proclaimed. Some of the main criticisms were about legal obligation of Universal Declaration of Human Rights, weather if it is binding or not, and the degree of moral authority on States or any another influence. Many scholars were arguing about addressed questions and each of them brought up different conclusion, which was based upon their diverse cognitions. The significant fact is that the Declaration had (or maybe even still has) the impact on other international treaties which were adopted many years after, especially on the European Convention on Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, which today represents the highest degree of international protection of human rights and freedoms. According to increasing awareness of the protection of human rights, especially on the territory of the European Union, it is necessary to start from the initiate – the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
