Human Rights

Human rights are the fundamental rights and freedoms that belong to every individual, regardless of nationality, sex, ethnicity, religion, or any other status. These rights are inherent to all human beings and are vital for the dignity, freedom, and well-being of each person. The concept of human rights encompasses a wide range of protections, including civil rights (such as the right to life, freedom of speech, and privacy), political rights (such as the right to participate in government), economic and social rights (such as the right to education, work, and an adequate standard of living), and cultural rights. Human rights are often enshrined in international law and treaties, such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which was adopted by the United Nations in 1948. The principles of universality, inalienability, and indivisibility underpin human rights, asserting that all rights apply to everyone, cannot be taken away, and are interconnected. The promotion and protection of human rights are essential for building just societies and fostering peace and security worldwide.
