Introduction

The United Nations operates under the assumption that the recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world.  Its intent to bring this recognition to the hearts and minds of all peoples of the world is set forth in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights adopted and proclaimed by General Assembly resolution 217 A (III) of 10 December 1948.
