UN General Assembly
1959

63. Human rights under the concept of the United Nations are designed to safeguard for all time man's heritage of basic rights and fundamental freedom. This struggle for human rights is as old as humanity. Its existence can be traced to the great law-givers, from the time of Hammurabi, who have sought by legal means to protect the weak against oppression by the strong. This concept has followed the changes of time and has reached this Organization in the form of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. This ideal should be the goal of all States Members of the United Nations.
