Human Rights Day, December 10, 2012
The date was chosen to honour the United Nations General Assembly's
adoption and proclamation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
(UDHR) on December 10, 1948. The UDHR was the first global enunciation
of human rights.
The Human Rights Day was formally established at the General Assembly on
December 4, 1950, when all member states and any other interested
organizations were invited to celebrate the day as they saw fit.

Also, the McKusick Law Library's current display, compiled by Gordana
Filipovic, highlights information on international human rights.
