How did a concern for human rights and global security shape the post-war world?

 Because the creation of human rights has become a way of mediating conflicts and having a better control of nations.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) was prepared by a United Nations (UN) commission between 1946 and 1948. It came into force after a UN General Assembly held in 1948. This document consists of 30 articles, which determine the basic rights that every human being should have, regardless of race, religion, social position, gender, etc.

UDHR is of fundamental importance, as it helped to consolidate the idea of human rights, strengthening an activism that works in the search for improvements for humanity and in the fight against inequalities.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights was drafted in 1946 in a context related to events that took place during World War II. Among the striking episodes of the greatest conflict in human history are the Holocaust and the dropping of atomic bombs on two Japanese cities.

The UDHR was drafted at the same time that Nazis who had committed crimes during the war were being tried in the military court set up in Nuremberg. During the months of this court's operation, details of how the Germans killed six million Jews were being unraveled. Thus, the world became aware of the horrors of the Holocaust.
