"All men are born free and equal in dignity and rights." This sentence is the central message of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights adopted by the General Assembly of the United Nations on December 10, 1948. Everyone should be free to exercise all rights and freedoms regardless of race, color, gender, language, religion, political or other beliefs. Although the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is formally only a recommendation and not a treaty, it has gained much more political significance than other recommendations of the United Nations General Assembly. The German constitution was also significantly influenced by the declaration. Article 1 of the Basic Law states: "The dignity of man is inviolable."
