Scope and content
During the second session of the Commission on Human Rights in 1947 the full concept of an International Bill of Rights as a three-part document - a declaration, a convention and measures of implementation - emerged. The result was first of all the Draft International Declaration on Human Rights, followed by a Draft International Covenant on Human Rights, and thirdly the Report on Measures of Implementation. Together these three parts are referred to as the International Bill of Rights.
The final text of the International Declaration of Human Rights was prepared at the third session of the Commission in 1948 and adopted on 10 December 1948 by the General Assembly.
