On December 10th<\/sup>, 1948, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights<\/a> (UDHR) was published by the United Nations General Assembly to officially define and defend the inherent rights of all human beings for the first time in history. In honor of this milestone, the world celebrated the 75th<\/sup> anniversary of Human Rights Day<\/a> on Sunday, December 10th<\/sup>, 2023. Please help us raise awareness for Universal Human Rights Month (UHRM) this December by visiting the book display on the main level of the Queens College Library (Rosenthal 3rd floor).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Highlighting the 2023 UHRM theme of \u201cFreedom, Equality and Justice for All,\u201d<\/a> the books on display include works across the fields of history, political science, anthropology, sociology, gender studies, economics, and more to provide a multilayered perspective on universal human rights issues. Feel free to browse the physical books on display as this month\u2019s cultural awareness installment, use OneSearch<\/a> to find related E-Books, or meet with a librarian to discuss further research options.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As a major achievement in international and multicultural collaboration, the UDHR has been translated into more than 500 languages and influenced the formation of over 70 human rights treaties.
