    The document discusses the history and development of human rights. It defines human rights as rights that every person is entitled to simply due to being human, regardless of personal characteristics. It notes that the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was passed by the UN in 1948 and obligates UN member countries to promote and respect human rights. The concept of rights dates back to ancient Greece but were only afforded to citizens who were adult males with property. After World War 2, the atrocities committed led to human rights being declared an international concern when a government mistreats its people. The UN Charter mandates members to promote universal human rights.

    HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT OF
    HUMAN RIGHTS
    The word 'right' as a " justifiable claim on moral or legal grounds" dates
    back to the 9th and 10th centuries when it first entered the English
    Dictionary (Oxford English Dictionary, 1979). However, in essence, the
    western conceptualization of rights goes even further back in time

    Ancient Greece
    As practice in the Athenian city states, citizens had equality before the
    law, equal right tk speak to forum and the right to seek public office, etc.
    These rights are citizens only. To be a citizen however, one had to be an
    adult male woth property. Rights were then the privilege of a few. And for
    the men only!
    After Second World War(WWII)
    Due to Adolf Hitler's montrosity during the Second World War, the
    protection of human rights was declared as a justification for the
    international community of nations to step in and to punish a sovereign
    government for the way it treated its own people.

    The Legal Basis


    After the Second World War, the United Nations,as a new institution
    provided the leadership in awakening the interest in human rights
    discourse. Article 55 of the UN Charter mandates all members to "
    promote universal respect for and observance of human rights and
    fundamental freedoms".
