In 1948, the UN General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Like the U.S. Bill of Rights, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is a list of rights guaranteed to all people. It includes many of the rights in the Bill of Rights, and several that are not in the Bill of Rights, such as the right to work, the right to be educated, and the right to food and housing.

When did the UN adopt the Universal Declaration of Human Rights?

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) was issued in 1948, but there was no Tanzania yet, nor would there be until 1964. Tanzania thus could not sign the original document. In 1977, Tanzania incorporated most of the principles of the UDHR into the country's constitution. Unfortunately, as Tanzanian human rights advocates have pointed out, enforcement is very poor and while the law exists on paper, many groups are still denied the rights promised in the Declaration.
