Dataset Summary
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is a milestone document in the history of human rights. Drafted by representatives with different legal and cultural backgrounds from all regions of the world, it set out, for the first time, fundamental human rights to be universally protected. The Declaration was adopted by the UN General Assembly in Paris on 10 December 1948 during its 183rd plenary meeting.

Languages
The dataset includes translations of the document in 467 languages and dialects. The list of languages can be found here.
Dataset Structure
Data Instances
Each instance corresponds to a different language and includes information about the language and the full document text.
Data Fields
text: The full document text with each line of text delimitted by a newline (\n).lang_key: The unique identifier of a given translation.lang_name: The textual description of language/dialect.iso639-3: The iso639-3 language identifier.iso15924: The iso15924 language identifier.
Data Splits
Only a train split included which includes the full document in all languages.
Dataset Creation
Curation Rationale
In addition to its social significance, the document set a world record in 1999 for being the most translated document in the world and as such can be useful for settings requiring paired text between many languages.

Considerations for Using the Data
Social Impact of Dataset
In addition to the social and political significance of the United Nations' Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the document set a world record in 1999 for being the most translated document in the world and as such can be useful for settings requiring paired text between many languagers including those that are low resource and significantly underrepresented in NLP research.
Discussion of Biases

Other Known Limitations
Although the document is translated into a very large number of languages, the text is very short and therefore may have limited usefulness for most types of modeling and evaluation.
