Definitions
- The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is a milestone document in the history of human rights
- The human rights are right that is believed to belong justifiably to every person.
- Non-discrimination is a cross-cutting principle in international human rights law.
- Later, humus transformed into humanus, which means human or humane. This word later evolved into the Old French humaine, and then into the Middle English humaine. We imported the word straight from Middle English and changed it into “human“.

characteristics
- Inherent – Human Rights are inherent because they are not granted by any person or authority. Human rights do not have to be bought, earned or inherited; they belong to people simply because they are human. Human rights are inherent to each individual.
- Fundamental - Human Rights are fundamental rights because without them, the life and dignity of man will be meaningless.
- Inalienable - Human rights cannot be taken away; no one has the right to deprive another person of them for any reason. People still have human rights even when the laws of their countries do not recognize them, or when they violate them - for example, when slavery is practiced, slaves still have rights even though these rights are being violated. Human rights are inalienable. Human Rights are inalienable because:
-
-
- Imprescriptible - Human Rights do not prescribe and cannot be lost even if man fails to use or assert them, even by a long passage of time.
- Indivisible - To live in dignity, all human beings are entitled to freedom, security and decent standards of living concurrently. Human rights are indivisible. Human Rights are not capable of being divided. They cannot be denied even when other rights have already been enjoyed.
- Universal - Human Rights are universal in application and they apply irrespective of one’s origin, status, or condition or place where one lives. Human rights are enforceable without national border. Human rights are the same for all human beings regardless of race, sex, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin. We are all born free, and equal in dignity and rights— human rights are universal.
- Interdependent - Human Rights are interdependent because the fulfillment or exercise of one cannot be had without the realization of the other.
