Answer 1

The events in the history of international human rights should be arranged as follows: Adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948), Ratification of the Convention Against Torture (1984), and Establishment of the International Criminal Court (2002).

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct chronological order of the important events in the history of international human rights, from earliest to most recent, is: Adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Ratification of the Convention Against Torture, and Establishment of the International Criminal Court. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is a foundational document in international human rights law, adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1948.

Following that, the Convention Against Torture, which aimed to prevent torture and other cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment, was ratified in 1984. The International Criminal Court, established in 2002, was created to prosecute individuals for international crimes such as genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes.
