Universal Declaration of Human Rights

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which was established after World War II, was established in order to define the rights of an individual. The documentation of this declaration was followed through a traditional Civil law format. Civil law is a legal system which is used as a system of law around the world. The theme is Law and Justice, and Civil law is a legal system which falls under law. Thus, of course, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights falls into the overall theme of Law and Justice.
