All human being are born free and equal in dignity and rights.

According to article 1 of the Universal


Declaration of Human Rights, which was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on
December 10, 1948, everyone has inalienable rights as a human being, regardless of race, color,
religion, sex, language, political or other opinions, national or social religion, property, birth, or other
status. The Declaration of Independence promotes universal goals and standards for all peoples and
nations. It's established as the equal dignity and birth of all people. The ideals of the statement are as
relevant today as they were in 1948; as a result of the declaration, the dignity of millions has been
elevated as the foundation for a more fair and just world.
While the promise has yet to be fully realized, the fact that the declaration has stood the test of time
is a testament to the enduring universality of its perennial values of equal justice and human dignity.
The idea of democracy is intertwined with the concept of moral equality, the conviction that all
persons are born equal and deserve equal respect. According to Jean-Jacques Rousseau, who
famously claimed that “All men are born equal and free”, and Immanuel Kant, who argues that “All
human beings are ads in themselves” as free rational beings equally worthy of dignity and respect for
these philosophers, we are morally equal just by being human regardless of our physical intellectual
and cultural differences, and this principle of basic inalienable equality forms the core of much
contemporary thinking about equality.
