The Human Trafficking Center at the Josef Korbel School of International Studies was started in 2008 to address the problem through professional research, writing, and educational outreach on human trafficking forced labor, and modern slavery. We aim to provide research that improves inter-organizational cooperation and accountability, influences policy, and raises awareness in combating human trafficking and modern slavery.
The Center on Rights Development (CORD) was established in 1988 as part of the Josef Korbel School of International Studies at the University of Denver.
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights -FULL TEXT
"The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which was adopted by the UN General Assembly on 10 December 1948, was the result of the experience of the Second World War. With the end of that war, and the creation of the United Nations, the international community vowed never again to allow atrocities like those of that conflict happen again. World leaders decided to complement the UN Charter with a road map to guarantee the rights of every individual everywhere. The document they considered, and which would later become the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, was taken up at the first session of the General Assembly in 1946."
