Seventy-five years ago, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights captured a remarkable act of collective hope. The document was drafted by a committee representing different regions, faiths, and philosophies and adopted by the United Nations General Assembly. The rights enshrined in the declaration are universal and enduring. Here, we reaffirm our commitment to upholding the equal and inalienable rights of all.
The United States was founded on the simplest and the most powerful idea in the history of the world. We are all created equal and given certain inalienable rights. Generations later, in the wake of World War II and the Holocaust, the United States joined countries around the world to create the United Nations and enshrine that same idea in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Today, the United States continues to defend fundamental freedoms and human rights wherever they are under threat. We stand with people everywhere defending their rights against the forces of autocracy. We demonstrate to the world that the flame of liberty still lights the souls of free people everywhere.
This year, we also affirmed our commitment to democratic renewal globally, bringing together nearly 100 government leaders and hundreds of representatives from civil society and the private sector as well as journalists, technologists, and youth leaders from around the world. Our movement drove progress to protect human rights, bolster democratic reforms, fight corruption, support free and independent media. But more has to be done. We have to advance technology that works for democracy, combat the misuse of technology, and defend free and fair elections and political processes.
I have often said that one of America’s greatest strengths is that we lead not by the example of our power but by the power of our example. We are strongest in the world when we live by our values at home. We must never cease working to uphold human dignity, protect the rights of every person in this country and promote protection of those same rights globally. That is why my Administration has established the White House Gender Policy Council, which works to ensure women and girls enjoy equal rights and equal participation in society by preventing and responding to gender-based violence. We have worked to strengthen civil rights for LGBTQI+ people at home and around the world and to protect same-sex marriage. We have led an intensive effort to counter the proliferation and misuse of commercial spyware that has enabled human rights abuses around the world.
We are working to address systemic racism, advance racial equity, bolster support for underserved communities, address inequities in our law enforcement and criminal justice. My dear folks, today global challenges are rising. Conflicts are erupting, democracy is backsliding, misinformation is on the rise, the climate crisis is rampant, and food insecurity is all the more prevalent. At times like these, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is a bedrock with which we must tackle these issues and promote the full enjoyment of all human rights.
May we all recommit to securing the equal rights of every member of the human family and working together for the advancement of all humankind. Together, we can — and we will guide history toward a freer and more just world for all.
