The correct answer is TRUE.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is a landmark document that was enacted by the newly created United Nations Assembly in 1948 in France. It contains 30 articles that state individual right and, although these are not binding by themselves, they have triggered enforcement through the enactment of subsequent international treaties, regional human rights instruments, economic programs national constitutions, and many other types of legal instruments.

There are many countries or regions which have not adopted such legislations or even adopting them, there has been a violation of universal rights with either the consent of the state, or in a situation of weakness in which the state could not have impeded it. For example, the genocides in Rwanda or in the breaking-up of former Yugoslavie.
