The correct answer is (B) 1948. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in Paris on 10 December 1948. This date is celebrated annually as Human Rights Day. The UDHR was a response to the atrocities of World War II and represented the first global expression of rights to which all human beings are inherently entitled. Although not a treaty, it has become a foundational document in international human rights law and has inspired many subsequent international human rights treaties and national constitutions.
