Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights included freedom of speech and religion, among many other rights such as the right to a fair trial and protection from torture. It was not immediately ratified by Congress and faced some opposition, but eventually gained widespread support. It was honored by both the United States and the Soviets, although they had different interpretations of some of the rights. While the declaration did not specifically address economic rights, it did recognize the right to work and the right to a standard of living adequate for health and well-being.
