Here is the Article:
Article 29.
(1) Everyone has duties to the community in which alone the free and full development of his personality is possible.
(2) In the exercise of his rights and freedoms, everyone shall be subject only to such limitations as are determined by law solely for the purpose of securing due recognition and respect for the rights and freedoms of others and of meeting the just requirements of morality, public order and the general welfare in a democratic society.
(3) These rights and freedoms may in no case be exercised contrary to the purposes and principles of the United Nations.

Not sure where you live, but in the U.S., individuals are governed by our laws, not by International statements that sound nice but have no teeth and are not followed by most countries.

No, insulting is a not a violation.
Para 2 -- subject to the rights and freedoms as determined by law. So, in countries that allow freedom of expression, that's allowed by law. In countries that don't, that may be illegal.

Well, one cannot legislate manners. People who slam others beliefs are ignorant boobs and no amount of legislation will change that.
The trouble with laws against objectionable speech is that it only applies to the spoken word and does nothing about the underlying thought behind it. The only thing that will change THAT is education..
