Human Rights Day is held annually on December 10. It is a celebration to mark the day in 1948 that the United Nations adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). Its adoption provided a yardstick for measuring international standards of human rights. Apart from the Bible, the UDHR holds the world record for the most translated document. The translations have been instrumental in informing everyone across the globe about their rights. The champion of the worldwide observance of Human Rights is the High Commissioner of Human Rights. He plays a vital role in coordinating the yearly observation of the Human Rights Day.
