    What are human Rights?

     Human rights are the basic rights and freedoms that belong to every person in the world, from birth until death.
    They apply regardless of where you are from, what you believe or how you choose to live your life.

    In The human rights There are characteristics that we will discuss today.
    So, what are the characteristics of Human Rights.

    Characteristics of human Rights

    1. Interdependent and Invisible


     all rights—political, civil, social, cultural and economic—are equal in importance and none can be fully
    enjoyed without the others. they apply to all equally, and all have the right to participate in decisions that
    affect their lives.
    2. Human rights are universal
     Which means that they apply equally to all people everywhere in the world, and with no time limit. Every
    individual is entitled to enjoy his or her human rights without distinction of "race" or ethnic background,
    color, sex, sexual orientation, disability, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social
    origin, birth or other status. We should note that the universality of human rights does not in any way
    threaten the rich diversity of individuals or of different cultures. Universality is not synonymous with
    uniformity.
    3. Human rights are inalienable.
     This means that you cannot lose them, because they are linked to the very fact of human existence, they are
    inherent to all human beings. In particular circumstances some – though not all – may be suspended or
    restricted.

    We are born with these rights that are present until our death. All the humans surviving on this planet are entitled to
    these rights. The reason why these rights are formed is to protect anyone who wants to harm or to violate someone.
    These human rights give people the freedom to live and to express themselves as to how they want to. Everyone
    deserves to be themselves and this is supported by human rights. Understanding characteristics of human rights is
    important because knowledge of it helps us to fight for our rights.

    Next in Our topic is what is the historical Background of universal declaration.

    What is Universal Declaration?


     The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is a historic document which outlined the rights and freedoms
    everyone is entitled to.

    The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is a milestone document in the history of human rights. Drafted by
    representatives with different legal and cultural backgrounds from all regions of the world, the Declaration was
    proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly in Paris on 10 December 1948 (General Assembly resolution 217 A)
    as a common standard of achievements for all peoples and all nations. It sets out, for the first time, fundamental human
    rights to be universally protected and it has been translated into over 500 languages. The UDHR is widely recognized as
    having inspired, and paved the way for, the adoption of more than seventy human rights treaties, applied today on a
    permanent basis at global and regional levels (all containing references to it in their preambles).

    In its preamble and in Article 1, the Declaration unequivocally proclaims the inherent rights of all human beings:
    “Disregard and contempt for human rights have resulted in barbarous acts which have outraged the conscience of
    mankind, and the advent of a world in which human beings shall enjoy freedom of speech and belief and freedom from
    fear and want has been proclaimed as the highest aspiration of the common people… All human beings are born free
    and equal in dignity and rights.”

    The Member States of the United Nations pledged to work together to promote the thirty Articles of human rights that,
    for the first time in history, had been assembled and codified into a single document. In consequence, many of these
    rights, in various forms, are today part of the constitutional laws of democratic nations.

    Importance of Human Rights


     Human rights are basic rights that belong to all of us simply because we are human. They embody key values
    in our society such as fairness, dignity, equality and respect. They are an important means of protection for
    us all, especially those who may face abuse, neglect and isolation. Most importantly, these rights give us
    power and enable us to speak up and to challenge poor treatment from a public authority.
