Universal Declaration of Human Rights? During World War II (1939-1945), millions of soldiers and civilians were killed as a result of military combat, occupation, and concentration camps. After the end of the war, the UN was created with a dream of securing peace and justice in the world by international co-operation. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) was created, passed and adopted by those nations who were part of the UN in 1948. The UDHR is a set of universally accepted and observed basic human rights, so that people would never again have to go through the abuses that they had suffered during World War II.
