The Declaration is an important international document that demonstrates the possibilities for cooperation between countries with different socioeconomic structures in the field of human rights protection. It also has a positive impact on the constitution and laws of the world. The nations of the world use the provisions of the Declaration in their struggle for their rights, peace, democracy, and progress.
