It demonstrated the belief and determination of humanity to maintain peace, democracy and human dignity. The process of formu-lating the Declaration was difficult. But in the spirit of cooperation, countries finally succeeded in reaching a consensus on human rights. The making of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights had great value and significance for promoting world peace and development, and it has had a far-reaching impact on the rule of law in inteational human rights and the development of the human rights legal systems in various countries.
