Answer:

The correct answer is D. The goal of the United Nations' Universal Declaration of Human Rightts was to promote the well-being of all people.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), which outlines basic human rights, was adopted by the United Nations on December 10, 1948. It was drafted mainly by Canadian John Peters Humphrey, with the help of several people from all over the world.

Shaken by the recent barbarism of World War II, and in order to build a world under new ideological foundations, the leaders of the nations that emerged as postwar powers, led by the United States and the Soviet Union, established at the Yalta Conference in Russia in 1945, the foundations of a future world peace, defining areas of influence of the powers and agreeing to the creation of a multilateral organization to promote negotiations on international conflicts, to prevent wars and to promote peace and democracy, and to strengthen the human rights.

Although not a legally binding document, it served as the basis for the two legally binding UN human rights treaties: the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights.
