About this audiobook
Eleanor Roosevelt, the widow of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, was a key figure in the drafting process. She played an instrumental role in promoting and advocating for the declaration. Her diplomatic skills and commitment to human rights made her an influential force in the commission.
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights consists of 30 articles that outline fundamental human rights and freedoms to be universally protected. It covers a wide range of rights, including civil, political, economic, social, and cultural rights. The UDHR has served as a foundational document for the development of subsequent international human rights treaties and declarations.
Eleanor Roosevelt's contributions to the drafting and promotion of the UDHR are widely acknowledged. Her efforts in championing human rights continued beyond the adoption of the declaration, and she remains a prominent figure in the history of human rights advocacy.
