Human rights
Human right are the right of
human possess by human simply as and because they are human, it is a moral
principles or norms which describe certain standards of human behavior, and are
regularly protected as legal inherently entitled simply because she or he is a human
being, it is born right and these rights are inherent to all human beings, whatever
the nationality, place of residence, sex, national or ethnic origin, color, religion,
language, or any other status , We are all equally entitled to our human rights
without discrimination. It is the only tool to fulfill the gap between the human civil,
political, economic, social and culture right, as it evolved it is covering the right of
human which isnt born yet.
The foundation of human rights is the notion that every person should live in
equality, dignity and freedom, towards this end, the global community recognized
that it had to go far beyond simply prohibiting genocide, but instead develop a
vision which protected the civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights of all
people. `` These rights are all interrelated, interdependent and indivisible. The
concept human rights are realized after 2nd world war. Many of the basic ideas that
animated the human rights movement developed in the aftermath of the Second
World War and the atrocities of The Holocaust, culminating in the adoption of the
Universal Declaration of Human Rights in Paris by the United Nations General
Assembly in 1948. From this foundation, the modern human rights arguments
emerged over the latter half of the twentieth century, possibly as a reaction to
slavery, torture, genocide, and war crimes, as a realization of inherent human
vulnerability and as being a precondition for the possibility of a just society. The
UDHR urges member nations to promote a number of human, civil, economic and
social rights, asserting these rights as part of the "foundation of freedom, justice
and peace in the world. Alongside UDHR many international treaties, customary
international law, international humanitarian law and united nation system related
to human right became the main promoter and protector of human right.

The Right to Social Security guaranteeing that everyone regardless of age or ability to work has the means necessary to procure
basic needs and services, Several key human rights principles are fundamental to guaranteeing the right to social security:
Comprehensiveness: Social security implicitly covers all the risks involved in the loss of means of subsistence for reasons beyond a
persons control.
Flexibility: The retirement age should be flexible, depending on the occupations performed and the working ability of elderly persons,
with due regard to demographic, economic, and social factors.
Non-discrimination: Social security must be provided without discrimination (in intent or effect) based on health status, race,
ethnicity, age, sex, sexuality, disability, language, religion, national origin, income, or social status.
In addition, there are United Nations committees (treaty bodies) made up of experts that oversee the implementation of particular
human rights treaties. These committees oversee the treaties by, among other things, receiving government reports on the
implementation of the treaties, making comments to the government reports, and issuing general comments about the treaties or
specific rights contained therein.

the third generation is the most debated and lacks both legal and political recognition.
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 conventions such as the International Convention on
the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination and the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against
Women.
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, as stated in Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights: 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 from interfering with or 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 basic human rights. At the individual
level, while we are entitled our human rights, we should also respect the human rights of others.
