Human Rights Defined BY MR.RIGHTS

Study shows that, a critical examination of the foundation of every religion in the global realm reveals that mortals were created in the image of a higher, Being, and by implication, those mortal beings deserve the respect and dignity due to their creator. Illustrate this with the immortal words of Thomas Jefferson, the writer of America’s Bill of Rights, pronouncing American Declaration of independence on July 4, 1776, he state thus: that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. – (Todd and Curti (166;118).

As envisaged, unalienable rights are those rights which cannot be taken away from the people, not by any government, nor even by the people themselves. Fundamental rights are strong enough and indicative of natural rights.

While some dictionaries define the word right as “a privilege,” when used in the context of “human rights,” we are talking about something more basic.

Every person is entitled to certain fundamental rights, simply by the fact of being human. These are called “human rights” rather than a privilege (which can be taken away at someone’s whim), human rights are parmanent any where in the world.

They are “rights” because they are things you are allowed to be, to do or to have. These rights are there for your protection against people who might want to harm or hurt you. They are also there to help us get along with each other and live in peace.

Some people know something about their rights, while other know less. But generally speaking, some people know they have the right to food and a safe place to stay. They know they have a right to be paid for the work they do. They have the right to freedom of expression, association and freedom of religion. But there are many other rights yet unknown to many.

When human rights are not well known by people, abuses such as discrimination, intolerance, injustice, oppression and slavery can arise.

Born out of the atrocities and enormous loss of life during World War II, the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights was signed in 1948 to provide a common understanding of what everyone’s rights are. It forms the basis for a world built on freedom, justice and peace.

In the following week, we shall properly discuss the human rights of all.
