联合国的创建也标志着保护和普遍促进人权与平等领域的一个里程碑，为此通过了许多文件，这些文件现在是国际人权体系的主要支柱。在这样做时，联合国重申，一个拥有普遍和无可争辩的权利的人必须处于一个新的、更和平、更繁荣的世界的核心，任何人都不应因为与他人不同而受到歧视或迫害。
The creation of UN also marked a milestone in the field of protection and universal promotion of human rights and equality, by adopting numerous documents that are now main pillar of the international human rights system. In doing so, UN reaffirmed that at a person (human being) with rights that are universal and undisputable must be at the heart of a new, more peaceful and prosperous world, and that no one should be discriminated or persecuted for being different.
