This article does not specifically address women's rights, but it sets out the status of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) in national and international law. Examples in the article refer to international law provisions protecting the right to health. The author asserts that legally, politically, and morally, the UDHR remains even more significant today than when it was adopted in 1948.
