Human Rights

What are your Human rights? A question every living person needs to know. According to The Universal Declaration of Human Rights created by the United Nations in 1948 every human being, whatever your nationality, place of residence, sex, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, language, or any other status are all equally entitled to the following rights without discrimination. http://www.un.org/en/documents/udhr/

These rights are all interrelated, interdependent and indivisible. Universal human rights are often expressed and guaranteed by law, in the forms of treaties, customary international law, general principles and other sources of international law. International human rights law lays down obligations of Governments to act in certain ways or to refrain from certain acts, in order to promote and protect human rights and fundamental freedoms of individuals or groups.
