### 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.

### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

[More Information Needed]

### Languages

The dataset includes translations of the document in over 400 languages and dialects. The list of languages can be found
[here](https://unicode.org/udhr/translations.html).

## 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 delimited 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](https://iso639-3.sil.org/) language identifier.
- `iso15924`: The [iso15924](https://unicode.org/iso15924/iso15924-codes.html) language identifier.
- `bcp47`: The [BCP 47](https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/bcp47) 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.

### Source Data

## 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 languages including those that are low resource and significantly
underrepresented in NLP research.

### Discussion of Biases

[More Information Needed]

### 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.

## Additional Information

### Dataset Curators

### 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.

This plain text version prepared by the "UDHR in Unicode" project, URL


### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards


### Languages


The dataset includes translations of the document in over 400 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 delimited 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.
* 'bcp47': The BCP 47 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.


### Source Data


#### Initial Data Collection and Normalization


#### Who are the source language producers?


### Annotations


#### Annotation process


#### Who are the annotators?


### Personal and Sensitive Information


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 languages 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.

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. ### Source Data #### Initial Data Collection and Normalization #### Who are the source language producers? ### Annotations #### Annotation process #### Who are the annotators? ### Personal and Sensitive Information


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 languages 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.
