The Universal Declaration of Human Rights

Universal Declaration of Human Rights, 1948 (Article 26) is the first international legal instrument that recognizes education as a right. It is a non-legal binding instrument but with an great political and moral scope. It represents the universal recognition that basic rights and fundamental freedoms are inherent to all human beings, inalienable and equally applicable to everyone. It is at the heart of the United Nations system and has inspired the human rights treaties adopted since then.
