Human Rights

Universal Declaration of Human Rights

Adopted by the UN General Assembly on December 10, 1948, the UDHR is a milestone document in the history of human rights — proclaiming the inalienable rights that every person is entitled to as a human being.

Article 1

"All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights."

Article 3

"Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person."

Article 18

"Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion."

Article 19

"Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression."

Article 26

"Everyone has the right to education."

Article 28

"Everyone is entitled to a social and international order in which the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration can be fully realized."

Bringing Human Rights Home

UNA Montana's Human Rights work connects the UDHR to the realities of life in Montana — from Indigenous rights to rural justice to freedom of expression. We believe human rights matter most where we live.
