It outlines 30 fundamental rights and freedoms that belong to every human being. Although the declaration itself is not legally binding, it laid the foundation for modern international human rights law and later influenced agreements such as the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, together forming the International Bill of Human Rights.

  • Right to Education: Covered under Article 26
