http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Declaration_of_Human_Rights#Legal_effect

"the Universal Declaration is a fundamental constitutive document of the
United Nations". I may be completely wrong here, but doesn't that mean
it's constitutional?

Article 19 of the declaration is:

"Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right
includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek,
receive and impart information and ideas through any media and
regardless of frontiers"
