UN's Universal Declaration of Human Rights adopted in 1948 sets out, for the first time, fundamental human rights to be universally protected. It declares in its Article 7 that, "All are equal before the law and are entitled without any discrimination to equal protection of the law. All are entitled to equal protection against any discrimination in violation of this Declaration and against any incitement to such discrimination."
