About Human Rights
Human rights are the basic freedoms and protections that people are entitled to simply because they are human beings.
- Human Rights are Universal
- They belong to everyone, regardless of their race, sexuality, citizenship, gender, nationality, ethnicity, or abilities.
- Human Rights are Inherent
- We are all born with human rights. They belong to people simply because they are human beings.
- Human Rights are Inalienable
- They cannot be taken away – period. No person, corporation, organization, or even government can deprive another
person of his or her rights.
- Human Rights can be Violated
- Although they are inalienable, they are not invulnerable. Violations can stop people from enjoying their rights, but they
do not stop the rights from existing.
- Human Rights are Essential
- They are essential for freedom, justice, and peace.
