As it is with all declarations, the UDHR is not legally binding, however, it is accepted as international customary law. Legally binding international norms were soon adopted by consensus after the UDHR. of note, the two important International Covenants were followed by specific treaties set out to protect specific rights (against torture, racial discrimination, etc .) or the most vulnerable and marginalized groups, such as women, children, persons with disabilities, etc. The purpose of this paper to review the historical developments In international norm setting, by illustrating the development of the currently existing 9 core human rights instruments, with a special focus on the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
