Answer 1

The correct option is B 10 December 1948 .

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is a declaration adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on 10 December 1948 at the Palais de Chaillot, Paris. The Declaration arose directly from the experience of the Second World War and represents the first global expression of what many people believe to be the rights to which all human beings are inherently entitled. In 1966, the General Assembly adopted the two detailed Covenants, which complete the International Bill of Human Rights.
