HUMAN RIGHTS
What is Human Rights?

Philosophy, refers to norms that aim to protect people from
political, legal, and social abuses. The United Nations (UN)
defines human rights as universal and inalienable, interdependent
and indivisible, and equal and non-discriminatory.
O Universal and inalienable means that human rights belong to all
and cannot be taken away unless specific situations call for it.
However, the deprivation of a person's right is subject to due
process.
O Interdependent and indivisible, on the other
hand, regards that whatever happens to even
one right - fulfillment or violation - can
directly affect the others.
O Further, Equal and non-discriminatory means
that human rights protect all people regardless
of race, nationality, gender, religion, and
political leaning, among others. They should
be respected without prejudice
O Human rights are freedoms established by custom or
international agreement that impose standards of conduct
on all nations. Human rights are distinct from civil liberties,
which are freedoms established by the law of a particular
state and applied by that state in its own jurisdiction.
O Human rights are commonly understood as "inalienable
fundamental rights to which a person is inherently entitled
simply because she or he is a human being." Human rights
are thus conceived as universal (applicable everywhere) and
egalitarian (the same for everyone). These rights may exist
as natural rights or as legal rights, in both national and
international law.
