It decided that, with the end of the Cold War, more emphasis should be given to the social policy agenda in order to secure peace and prosperity. Towards that end it organized a set of five world conferences including the 1993 World Conference on Human Rights, the 1995 World Summit for Social Development and the 1995 World Conference on Women. These conferences strongly reaffirmed support for core labor rights as human rights among them the right to organize and bargain collectively. The final document of the World Conference on Human Rights, known as the Vienna Declaration, was intended to update the Universal Declaration of Human Rights the most definitive international human rights document. The universal nature of these rights and freedoms is beyond question. . .
All human rights are universal, indivisible and interdependent and interrelated.
The international community must treat human rights globally in a fair and equal manner, on the same footing, and with the same emphasis. While the significance of national and regional particularities and various historical, cultural and religious backgrounds must be borne in mind, it is the duty of States, regardless of their political, economic and cultural systems, to promote and protect all human rights and fundamental freedoms. It calls on all States to abide fully by their obligations in this regard contained in international instruments. The Declaration was approved by 171 countries. Everyone shall have the right to freedom of association with others, including the right to form and join trade unions for the protection of his interests.
