To. on the Rights of Man

Original Declaration

and the Citizen (1789, 1791)

This is the original, hand-written copy of the
Declaration on the Rights of Man and the Citizen

presented in 1789.

The Declaration, which became the basis of the

Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948)
adopted by the United Nations, clearly demonstrates

universal values that reach beyond cultural, religious,
political, ethnic, economic, and social differences.

It is one of the documents that helped create
international law by proving the inviolable rights and

duties of individuals.
