The 30-article resolution is not legally binding, but provides an important basis for international treaties, economic transfers, regional humanrights instruments, national constitutions and laws. Of the 58 existing UN members in 1948, 48 countries voted in favour of accepting the statement. The remaining countries, including Poland, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, and the USSR abstained. During the development process, many Asian and African countries were colonies of countries that actively participated in the elaboration of the statement. As a result, many felt the voice of the coloniser is contained in the UDHR, but not that of the colonised. The so-called universal nature of the statement has been questioned since its inception. Even while the UDHR was being developed, the American Anthropological Association warned of a predominantly Western and capitalist perspective. Universality is primarily a representation of European, Judeo-Christian and Enlightenment ideas that originated in Western societies, and which other cultures find more difficult to identify with. In addition, the statement was the result of diplomatic and political strategies. The statement emphasises civil and political rights. Economic, social and cultural rights are secondary to the statement, while these rights mayfor example be more central to socialist or communist systems.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":"\u003cp\u003eDe Universele Verklaring van de Rechten van de Mens (UVRM) werd op 10 december 1948 aangenomen door de Algemene Vergadering van de Verenigde Naties. De resolutie van 30 artikels is juridisch niet bindend maar vormt een belangrijke basis voor internationale verdragen, economische overdrachten, regionale mensenrechteninstrumenten, nationale constituties en -wetten. Van de 58 VN-leden in 1948 stemden 48 landen voor de aanvaarding van de verklaring, de overige landen onthielden zich, waaronder Polen, Saudi-Arabi\u0026euml;, Zuid-Afrika en de USSR. Tijdens het ontwerpproceswaren veel Aziatische en Afrikaanse landen kolonies van landen die actief deelnamen aan de uitwerking van de verklaring. Als gevolg vonden velen dat de stem van de kolonisator vervat zit de UVRM, maar niet die van de gekoloniseerde. Het zogenaamde universele karakter van de verklaring wordt al sinds haar ontstaan in vraag gesteld. Reeds tijdens het uitwerken van de UVRM waarschuwde de American Anthropological Association voor een overheersend Westers en kapitalistisch perspectief. De universaliteit is voornamelijk een representatie van Europese, Joods-Christelijke en Verlichte idee\u0026euml;n die hun oorsprong vonden in Westerse samenlevingen en waarmee andere culturen zich moeilijker kunnen identificeren. Daarnaast is de verklaring het resultaat van diplomatieke en politieke strategie\u0026euml;n. Ze beklemtoont burgerlijke en politieke rechten. Economische, sociale en culturele rechten zijn ondergeschikt in de verklaring, terwijl net deze rechten mogelijk centraler staan in socialistische of communistische systemen.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"fr","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"ru","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"de","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"es","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"el","short_description":"","description":""}],"actors":[]}
