De mänskliga rättigheternas Galjonsfigur? Den Allmänna Förklaringen om de Mänskliga Rättigheterna
(2009)Human Rights Studies
- Abstract
- The 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights is probably the world's most known and
internationally most respected document. The purpose of this study is to examine if the UDHR
reflects universal values and norms and to assess its moral and juridical relevance today, 60 years
after the adoption. The literature used in this literature-based critical study is mainly written by
the academic elite of the discourse on Human Rights. By comparing these sources I have reached
the conclusion that the UDHR is still today an important document because of its continuing
influence on international lawmaking and because of the encouragement and aspirations to
mankind in the never-ending struggle for the rights it represents.
