Specific Laws that Protect Human Rights

Can you imagine a world without human rights? It will certainly expose you and others to dangerous
situations, abuses, and exploitations. Fortunately, you are living now in a world that promotes and
respects human rights, which are considered universal and fundamental to every human person in
the world.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), which was a milestone document in the history
of human rights, outlined the most basic human rights and freedoms that every human being is
entitled to. This declaration, proclaimed by all the representatives coming from different regions of
the world, laid out the foundation for human rights protection laws and policies all around the world.

In our country, different laws have been enacted to protect the human rights of every Filipino. The
following are some of these legislations:
