Why did the UN think it was important to create an international set of rules for human rights for the modern era?

International laws protecting human rights were enacted post facto in reponse to the Holocaust. Without such laws, it was impossible to prosecute the leaders of the 3rd Reich. Their actions, though abhorrent, were not illegal under any notion of international war. The League of Nations attempted to establish an international set of human rights, but had no authority to act and was disbanded after WWII. In 1948, the UN charter set international laws regarding human rights as well as the ability to act when such laws were broken.
