Question: Human rights are the rights being enjoyed by all human

beings without any discrimination. Discuss.

Human rights are rights inherent to all human beings, regardless of
race, sex, nationality, ethnicity, language, religion, or any other status.
Human rights include 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. All human rights are indivisible and
interdependent. This means that one set of rights cannot be enjoyed
fully without the other.
Human rights are moral principles or norms that describe certain
standards of human behaviour, and are regularly protected as legal rights
in municipal and international law. Everyone born in this world has human
rights that must be protected by the law.
The term “human rights” is used to describe a wide spectrum of rights
such as the right to like to the right to a cultural identity. They consist
of elementary and fundamental criteria for a dignified human life.
Universal: human rights belong to all people.
Unalienable: human rights cannot be taken away.
Interconnected: human rights are dependent on each other.
Indivisible: human rights cannot be treated in isolation.
Non-discriminatory: human rights should be respected without
prejudice.

UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS: The universal

declaration of human rights (UDHR) was drafted by the UN
Commission on human rights chaired by , then First Lady, Eleanor
Roosevelt. The UDHR was adopted by the 56 member nations (now 192)
of the UN General Assembly on December 10, 1948.
IMPORTANCE OF HUMAN RIGHTS: Human rights reflect the
minimum standards necessary for people to live with dignity. Human
rights give people the freedom to choose how they live, how they
express themselves, and what kind of government they want to
support, among many other things. Human rights also guarantee people
the means necessary to satisfy their basic needs, such as food,
housing, and education, so they can take full advantage of all
opportunities. Finally, by guaranteeing life, liberty, equality, and
security, human rights protect people against abuse by those who are
more powerful.

SO DOES EVERYONE ENJOYS HUMAN RIGHTS?

Human rights are enjoyed by everyone in the world does not seem to be
a correct statement. Even though it's absolutely necessary and critical
because each and every person born in this world is ultimately entitled
to their rights yet many and many of them are robbed of their even
fundamental and basic rights. The really interesting and key fact about
moral principles is that they have a life of their own. Not only a person
is entitled to one’s rights, it's also important for him to respect the
rights of others. It's necessary to have human rights to progress as a
society. It’s necessary to have human rights as a doctrine as a means to
pave the way for the changes we want to see in the world.
Therefore it's not only important to respect human rights but also
important to know about your rights. But not everyone is fortunate or
blessed to enjoy even their basic rights such as:
No Discrimination
No slavery
Equal before the law
Innocent until proven guilty
Right to democracy
Freedom of thought, religion,culture
Freedom of expression
Right to education
If we break only some of these rights down we can already see that
these rights , even in the 21st century, are not being enjoyed
universally.
NO DISCRIMINATION: Even though all human beings are born free
and equal in dignity and rights there are still many cases where all are
not equal in status. Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms,
without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language,
religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property,
birth or other status. Furthermore, no distinction shall be made on the
basis of the political, jurisdictional or international status of the
country or territory to which a person belongs. This is not the case as
there are numerous instances where people are still subjected to
inferiority on the basis of their race,colour,religion. The BLM
Movement which was triggered because of the murder of George FLoyd
and due to the injustices faced by the blacks it is clear not all are
equal in this world.
NO SLAVERY: No one shall be held in slavery or servitude; slavery and
the slave trade shall be prohibited in all their forms. But slavery isn't a
thing of the past, but a reality for more than 40 million people around
the globe, millions of children and adults are trapped in slavery in every
single country in the world. Modern slavery is the severe exploitation
of other people for personal or commercial gain. Modern slavery is all
around us, but often just out of sight. People can become entrapped
making our clothes, serving our food, picking our crops, working in
factories, or working in houses as cooks, cleaners or nannies.
From the outside, it can look like a normal job. But people are being
controlled – they can face violence or threats, be forced into
inescapable debt, or have had their passport taken away and are being
threatened with deportation. Many have fallen into this oppressive trap
simply because they were trying to escape poverty or insecurity,
improve their lives and support their families.
EQUAL BEFORE THE LAW: All are equal before the law and are
entitled without any discrimination to equal protection of the law. All
are entitled to equal protection against any discrimination in violation
and against any incitement to such discrimination. But since the
evolution of time it wouldn't be wrong to say that the powerful has
always been more dominant and successful in the court of justice than
the weak. Not each instance is like this but it still remains that even
with the rising tide of technological progress and awareness many are
still robbed of justice. All are equal before law but is the law equal to
all of us?
INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY: Everyone charged with a penal
offence has the right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty
according to law in a public trial at which he has had all the guarantees
necessary for his defence. No one shall be held guilty of any penal
offence on account of any act or omission which did not constitute a
penal offence, under national or international law, at the time when it
was committed. Even though it states that only with the presence of
justified evidence can someone be proven guilty in many cases the
accused is already subjected to the harm and humiliation of the crime
he or she may have not committed.
RIGHT TO DEMOCRACY: Everyone has the right to take part in the
government of his country, directly or through freely chosen
representatives. Everyone has the right of equal access to public
service in his country but corruption and nepotism are making
comebacks and inequalities of all sorts are on the rise.. It has become
common that even with half of the citizen votes anti-democratic
politicians get elected who fail to protect citizen’s rights. At this time
it is legitimate to ask whether democracy is breaking apart.
FREEDOM OF THOUGHT,RELIGION,CULTURE: Everyone has the
right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right
includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either
alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest
his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance and
of cultural and art and has the right freely to participate in the
cultural life of the community, to enjoy the arts and to share in
scientific advancement and its benefits. But in these modern times it's
not as easy as it sounds. Many people around the globe are afraid to
practice their own religion in the fear of being labeled as “terrorists”
and these people are mainly muslims. Muslims around the world suffer
greatly even being innocent because of some bad reputation of Islamic
Terrorist Organizations. Paestian, Syria, Rohingya, Kashmir are some of
the countries where people are suffering greatly yet no one bats an
eye on their misery.
FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION: Everyone has the right to freedom of
opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions
without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and
ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers yet we are
subjected to silence as not to raise our voice or share our opinion.
RIGHT TO EDUCATION: Everyone has the right to education.
Education shall be free, at least in the elementary and fundamental
stages. Elementary education shall be compulsory. Technical and
professional education shall be made generally available and higher
education shall be equally accessible to all on the basis of merit. All
children have the right to go to school and learn, regardless of who
they are, where they live or how much money their family has but
millions around the world are robbed of these basic and fundamental
rights.

CONCLUSION:
This is just scratching the surface of how not everyone in this world is
able to enjoy human rights even though human rights are obvious and
fundamental for each and every person of this world.
