ülddeklaratsioonil

ülddeklaratsioonil refers to the concept of a general declaration or a universal declaration. In Estonia, this term most commonly refers to the Ülddeklaratsioon inimõigustest, which is the Estonian translation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. This landmark document was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on December 10, 1948. It outlines fundamental human rights to be universally protected. The declaration was a response to the atrocities of World War II and aimed to establish a common standard of human rights for all peoples and all nations. It is not a legally binding treaty but serves as a moral and political guide for nations and a foundation for subsequent international human rights law. The Estonian translation signifies the commitment of Estonia to these principles. The term "ülddeklaratsioonil" itself, when used in a broader context outside of human rights, would simply mean "on a general declaration" or "in a universal declaration," referring to any broad statement of principles or intentions.
