HUMAN RIGHT

in #human-right7 years ago

Human rights are rights inherent to all human race, whatever our nationality, sex, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, language, or any other status. We are all equally entitled to our human rights without limitation. These rights are all interwoven, interdependent and transparent.
Universal human rights are often expressed by law, in the forms of treaties, customary international law , general principles and other sources of international law. International human rights law lays down obligations of Governments to refrain from certain acts, in order to promote and protect human rights and fundamental freedoms of individuals.

types of human right

independent and indivisible

All human rights are indivisible, whether they are civil and or not such as the right to life, equality before the law and freedom of expression; economic, social and cultural rights, such as the rights to work, social security and education , or collective rights, such as the rights to development and self-determination, are indivisible, interwoven and interdependent. The improvement of one right facilitates advancement of the others.

Equal and non-discriminatory

Non-discrimination is a cross-cutting principle in international human rights law. The principle is present in all the major human rights treaties and provides the central theme of some of international human rights.
The principle applies to everyone in relation to all human rights and freedoms and it prohibits discrimination on the basis of a list of non-exhaustive categories such as sex, race, colour and so on. The principle of non-discrimination is complemented by the principle of equality, “All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.”

Both Rights and Obligations

Human rights entail both rights and obligations. States assume obligations and duties under international law to respect, to protect and to fulfil human rights. The obligation to respect means that States must refrain curtailing the enjoyment of human rights. The obligation to protect requires States to protect individuals and groups against human rights abuses. The obligation to fulfil means that States must take positive action to facilitate the enjoyment of human rights. At the individual level, while we are entitled our rights, we should always respect the human rights of others.

conclusion

Any human right is not meant to be violated but respected and also, an individual should respect him/herself so that others will not violate thier right.
