Signed exactly 76 years ago today, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is the world’s most translated document. It is widely acknowledged as the foundation of international human rights work, not just in legal settings but in wider civil society.

But few know that among the many social and political freedoms defined by the declaration is a human right to science. Article 27 of the declaration positions this right in the cultural sphere, stating:

Everyone has the right freely to participate in the cultural life of the community, to enjoy the arts and to share in scientific advancement and its benefits.

To be clear: The right is not 76 years old. The right to science is inherent in the human condition. Recognition of that right was codified 76 years ago.

No law, no paper, no ruler, can create or rescind a human right; they only protect them or infringe upon them.
