The Universal Declaration of Human Rights in the Crimean Tatar language has been published on website of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights for the first time.

"An important historical event happened. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights in the Crimean Tatar language was published on official UN resources for the first time. The Declaration set a world record in the number of translations and is available in more than 520 languages. The Crimean Tatar translation became the 521st," said chairman of the Crimean Tatar Resource Center Eskender Bariyev, the Radio Liberty reports.

Every Crimean Tatar family should have the Universal Declaration of Human Rights at home under current conditions, he noted.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is a document recommended for all UN member states. It was adopted at the third session of the UN General Assembly on December 10, 1948. The text of the Declaration is the first global definition of human rights.
