Article 28 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states that everyone is entitled to a social and international order in which the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration can be fully realized. This article recognizes that the effective realization of human rights requires an environment of justice, peace and stability, both nationally and internationally. It therefore emphasizes the interrelationship between individual rights and the social and political framework that underpins them, and underscores the importance of structures and systems that enable the full enjoyment of these rights.
The importance of Article 28 lies in its holistic view of human rights, which emphasizes that human rights cannot exist in a vacuum. To be effective, rights and freedoms must be supported by institutions and norms that ensure their respect and promotion. This article also emphasizes the responsibility of the international community to work together to create a world order that supports these rights and promotes cooperation, sustainable development and the peaceful resolution of conflicts.
The plaque with Article 28 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is located in front of the Monte de Gozo Children’s Park.
