The answer is 10 December 1948.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on 10 December 1948 at the Palais de Chaillot in Paris, France. It was the first comprehensive statement of the fundamental rights and freedoms that belong to every person in the world, from birth until death. The UDHR has been translated into over 500 languages and has inspired constitutions and laws around the world.

Here is a timeline of the key events leading up to the adoption of the UDHR:

• 1942: The United Nations Declaration by the United Nations is adopted, pledging to “promote respect for human rights and freedoms” among all nations.
• 1946: The UN Commission on Human Rights is established to draft an international bill of rights.
• 1948: After two years of deliberation, the UDHR is adopted by the UN General Assembly with 48 votes in favor, none against, and eight abstentions.

The UDHR is a landmark document in the history of human rights. It has helped to shape the understanding of human rights around the world and has inspired countless efforts to promote and protect these rights.
