The 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, approved on December 10, 1948, is not just any date, as it is an anniversary with exceptional importance in the protection of the human person, which from then on became the a suprastate level.
From that moment on, the international protection of human rights marked an essential turning point in the evolution of Public International Law itself, with waves of positive impact on related themes and to which the 20th century – in contrast to its first half – would be a happy witness. : the general proscription of the use of force, the intensification of supranational multilateralism or the more equitable exploration of international spaces.
The development of human rights, a movement that began there, would experience several ramifications, similar to new demands that have been presented to collective life, especially after the implementation of the State or the Risk Community that the beginning of the 21st century could symbolize with the “11 of September".
It is thus well justified that the commemoration of the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights can be held today in relation to its importance in the face of the new concerns that afflict States and the international Community in the challenges that growing insecurity has posed to action of public authorities.
