An acronym to remember the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) in relation to its 30 articles, create an acronym that captures the essence of the document’s articles in a simplified way. The UDHR’s 30 articles cover a wide range of rights, so We’ll craft an acronym that reflects key themes while being easy to recall. Here’s an attempt:
“FREEDOMS in UDHR”
- Freedom and Equality (Articles 1-2: All humans are born free and equal, with no discrimination)
- Right to Life and Liberty (Articles 3-5: Right to life, freedom from slavery, torture)
- Equality Before Law (Articles 6-11: Legal recognition, fair trials, innocence until proven guilty)
- Environment of Privacy (Article 12: Protection from arbitrary interference with privacy)
- Dignity in Movement (Articles 13-15: Freedom of movement, right to nationality, asylum)
- Ownership and Family (Articles 16-17: Right to marry, own property)
- Mind and Belief (Articles 18-20: Freedom of thought, religion, expression, assembly)
- Social Rights (Articles 21-27: Right to democracy, work, education, cultural life, social security)
This acronym, FREEDOMS, summarizes the core themes of the UDHR’s 30 articles, which span equality, legal protections, personal freedoms, and social/economic rights. Articles 28-30 (global order, community duties, and inalienable rights) are less explicitly captured but are implied in the broader concept of a free and fair world.

Below is the mnemonic, followed by a mapping to the articles.
