Was any penal law corresponding to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights ever introduced in any country?
<p>Was any penal law corresponding to UDHR ever introduced in any country?
So that UDHR could be enforced.
I now that UDHR itself is not a penal code and as of now it is not enforced globally. But is there any country that has written or modified its  penal law so that UDHR can be enforced (at least on its territory)?</p>

<p>The <a href="https://www.un.org/en/universal-declaration-human-rights/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Universal Declaration of Human Rights</a> isn't a penal code. It says very little about what should be a crime and only a little about what shouldn't be a crime or how those crimes should be punished.</p>

<p>It is cribbed heavily from the constitutional rights set forth in the U.S. Constitution and the positive rights declared by FDR in connection with his New Deal agenda. </p>

<p>It implies many positive entitlements and general principles that can't be achieved in the criminal justice system (Articles 1-2 and 13-30). </p>

<p>Articles 3-12 pertaining most directly to criminal procedure are very modest expectations that many countries meet, and even more countries have enacted as law, even if the reality doesn't always live up to the law in the statute books. This is evident from their very brevity.</p>
