Abstract

The review of the contents of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights from a legal and philosophical point of view, helps us to better understand the process that led to the compilation of this Declaration. In this context, one important point is to find out what foundations and theories the Declaration is based on, or, in other words, what is the worldview of the Universal Declaration. The most important question in this regard is whether the Universal Declaration essentially defines human beings and, if so, how is this definition. This article will describe the characteristics which Universal Declaration of Human Rights enumerates for humankind, and then explain how such a definition of man's nature has been shaped through the dialogue between different viewpoints. We will find out how to interpret the definition of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights from human beings. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights introduces human beings as a being of wisdom and conscience that is born free and equal and enjoys an inherent dignity which is the basis of man's enjoyment of human rights. This view is a result of the conceptual agreement between representatives of various legal and philosophical schools.
