Human Rights
Human rights are a set of basic rights that many people believe belong to all humans by birthright.The concept is
ancient, although the term only entered usage in the 1940s.Because many people, especially in the West, feel
very strongly about human rights, a number of measures have been undertaken to protect them.An international
organization, the United Nations, has a large division related to their protection.The idea that people are entitled
to a few basic rights by nature of their humanity is ancient.Many historical documents have codified some of
these basic rights.Unfortunately, there is also a long history of neglecting these rights for certain groups.Many
slave-owning societies, for example, felt passionately enough about human rights to include them in their
legislation, and slaves were excepted because they were believed to be less than human.In the 1940s, the
Second World War called a great deal of attention to the concept.Many nations were deeply concerned by the
actions of the Axis Powers, which greatly abridged human rights for a number of people, most prominently
followers of the Jewish faith.At the close of the war, the United Nations was founded, and this became one of the
major issues that the organization focused on.By 1948, the United Nations had issued a Universal Declaration of
Human Rights, asking all member nations to sign it and defend the rights described therein.As a general rule,
most proponents of human rights believe that humans are entitled to their lives and liberty.In addition, humans
should be able to think and communicate as they please, as these issues are very tied in with a sense of
liberty.Finally, all humans should be entitled to equality before the law.Many people also believe in a number of
additional legal protections, including prohibitions on slavery and torture.In addition, humans and governments
have a duty to protect the rights of all people.When a basic tenet of these rights is abused, it is termed a human
rights violation.Unfortunately, many countries commit such violations, ranging from execution of criminals for
trivial crimes to the extraordinary rendition of suspected terrorists.Many people report them in the hopes of
putting a stop to such violations, sometimes at risk of their lives.These people hope that human rights may
become universal someday without the need for monitors and whistleblowers.
