Universal Declaration of Human Rights

admin

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is a milestone document in the history of human rights. Drafted by representatives with different legal and cultural backgrounds from all regions of the world, the Declaration was proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly in Paris on 10 December 1948 (General Assembly resolution 217 A) as a common standard of achievements for all peoples and all nations. It sets out, for the first time, fundamental human rights to be universally protected and it has been translated into over 500 languages. The UDHR is widely recognized as having inspired, and paved the way for, the adoption of more than seventy human rights treaties, applied today on a permanent basis at global and regional levels (all containing references to it in their preambles).

A neurodivergent cyclist has said she hopes to show that “no matter how your brain works” you can achieve “amazing” things.

Connie Hayes, from Leytonstone, east London, is riding as part of the semi-professional women’s team Doltcini O’Shea in the Ford RideLondon Classique.

The three-stage race began in Essex on Friday and finishes in central London on Sunday.

The 23-year-old, who has dyslexia, dyspraxia and autism, described cycling as a “complete lifeline” for her.
