Human Rights refer to the fundamental rights and freedoms that belong to every person, regardless of nationality, sex, ethnicity, religion, or any other status. These rights are inherent to all human beings and are considered universal, inalienable, and indivisible.
The concept of human rights encompasses various civil, political, economic, social, and cultural rights, including the right to life and liberty, freedom from slavery and torture, freedom of opinion and expression, the right to work and education, and the right to participate in government.
Human rights are often enshrined in international law, most notably in documents such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1948. This declaration sets forth a common standard of achievements for all peoples and nations.
The recognition of human rights is intended to ensure dignity, equality, and respect for all individuals, and to protect against injustices and abuses. Their protection is essential for fostering peace, freedom, justice, and sustainable development in societies worldwide.
