Universal Law
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- For other uses, see Universal law
In law and ethics, Universal Law or Universal Principle refers to concept of legal legitimacy whereby those principles and rules for governing human conduct which are most universal in their acceptablity, their applicability, translation, and philosophical basis, are therefore considered to be most legitimate. In contrast with International Law, which chooses from existing laws in application to form issue-specific precedent, Universal Law refers to the based and derived principles within such judgements, as they are cited and therefore become law. The most notable being the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), which is routinely cited by various jurisdictions worldwide. (See also natural law).
