# Universal Declaration of Human Rights and International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights The United Nations, in addition to issuing the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, also sought to create legal commitments among nations. In 1952, the General Assembly decided to create two separate charters: one dealing with civil and political rights, and another dealing with economic, social, and cultural rights. The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights was issued by the United Nations in December 1966.
