HumanRights-A1Poster-reduced.pdfThe Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is an international document adopted by the United Nations General Assembly that enshrines the rights and freedoms of all human beings. It was accepted by the General Assembly as Resolution 217 during its third session on 10 December 1948 at the Palais de Chaillot in Paris, France.[1] Of the 58 members of the United Nations at the time, 48 voted in favour, none against, eight abstained, and two did not vote.[2]
Considered a foundational text in the history of human and civil rights, the Declaration consists of 30 articles detailing an individual's "basic rights and fundamental freedoms" and affirming their universal character as inherent, inalienable, and applicable to all human beings.[1] Adopted as a "common standard of achievement for all peoples and all nations", the UDHR commits nations to recognize all humans as being "born free and equal in dignity and rights" regardless of "nationality, place of residence, gender, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, language, or any other status".[3] The Declaration is considered a "milestone document" for its "universalist language", which makes no reference to a particular culture, political system, or religion.[4][5] It directly inspired the development of international human rights law, and was the first step in the formulation of the International Bill of Human Rights, which was completed in 1966 and came into force in 1976.
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights has set a new world record of being the most translated text. The UN Human Rights office has received a certificate from the Guinness Book of Records stating that the Declaration has been translated into in 370 languages and dialects from Abkhaz to Zulu.
When Your Game’s Monsters Are News Trolls
(Information and Media Literacy)
Go ahead: Fact-check this. Game developers are creating a new genre of video games where players compete against misinformation or promote it as social media trolls, OZY reports. The idea is to teach people to evaluate the information they get online and understand the consequences — like the deadly Jan. 6 Capitol attack — of falling for mass manipulation. Games like Harmony Square, Bad News, Go Viral, and Fake It to Make It might not become best-sellers, but they’re valuable tools for teachers to send young people into the digital world armed with healthy skepticism.
