Known today as the Cyrus Cylinder, this ancient document has now been recognized as the first human rights document in the world.

His following actions were those that marked a significant advance for mankind. He freed slaves, declared that all people had the right to choose their own religion, and established racial equality.

Just six weeks after the sudden attack on the Bastille, and just three weeks after the abolition of feudalism, the National Constituent Assembly adopted the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizens as the first step in writing the Constitution of the Republic of France.

Widely regarded as one of the most important legal documents in the development of modern democracy, the Magna Carta was a crucial point of change in the struggle to establish freedom.

The Commission prepared to draft the document which became the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Roosevelt, to whom the inspiration for the document was attributed, referred to the Declaration as the International Magna Carta for All Humanity. It was adopted by the United Nations on December 10th, 1948.
