Summary:
The Preamble to the Declaration says that “the people of the United Nations have, in the charter, re-affirmed their faith in the dignity and the worth of the human person”. So, in a way, the Human Rights Declaration and all the Laws that declare justice an obligatory act of all human beings have a spiritual basis. The present-day deterioration in moral values is because of this. These are known as moral laws or ethical principles. It is not that people do not know that moral values are necessary to build a happy and peaceful society..
