Abstract
In this article the authors examine the role of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) in UK law, politics and society, with a particular focus on its role in UK law. Despite the UDHR being conceived as a Declaration and not binding law, it has the potential to influence the development of the law. There is considerable moral force associated with it as the foundational document of modern human rights law. The authors argue that the Universal Declaration and the international treaties based on it are valuable soft law resources for guiding the interpretation of domestic law.
