RECOGNIZING HUMAN RIGHTS TO PROTECT ONESELF

INTRODUCTION / KEY CONCEPT

"We will not enjoy security without development, we will not enjoy development
without security, and we will not enjoy either without respect for human rights."
—UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan

According to United Nations, human rights are rights inherent to all human
beings, regardless of race, sex, nationality, ethnicity, language, religion, or any
other status. It includes the right to life and liberty, freedom from slavery and
torture, freedom of opinion and expression, the right to work and education,
and many more. Everyone is entitled to these rights, without discrimination.

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. These basic rights are
based on shared values like dignity, fairness, equality, respect and
independence. The values are defined and protected by law.
