Preferred term
global justice and legal issues
Definition
- The concept of global justice is premised on the belief that all people are entitled to certain fundamental human rights solely by virtue of being members of the human community. The 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) was a seminal step toward this vision; for the first time, states agreed to uphold the fundamental rights and liberties of their citizens.
