What's the most translated document in the world? It's not the Bible, it's . . .
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, a document conceived by the UN after World War II.
Quote:
Now, Therefore THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY proclaims THIS UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS as a common standard of achievement for all peoples and all nations, to the end that every individual and every organ of society, keeping this Declaration constantly in mind, shall strive by teaching and education to promote respect for these rights and freedoms and by progressive measures, national and international, to secure their universal and effective recognition and observance, both among the peoples of Member States themselves and among the peoples of territories under their jurisdiction.

Although I'm interested in human rights, I'm not sure I've ever head of this document, or maybe it just didn't impinge on my consciousness when I was learning about it. Here's the WikiP entry on it, too:
