Is the Declaration of Human Rights an international law?

I don't think so. It acts more as a guideline for how human rights legislation should be. For instance in the United States the first Ten Amendments to the Constitution are the Bill of Rights. They set out what rights an American citizen is entitled to. And here in the United Kingdom we have the Human Rights Act (1998). Check out the Bill of Rights and the Human Rights Act for more information.
