Human Rights

The concept of human rights is based on the fulfilment of bare necessities of mankind.Human right is a concept of civilized society inwhich all the human beings enjoy the right to lead a free and dignified life. Human rights are those rights which are essential for alround development of a man.Human rights are commonly understood as those rights that every human being is entitled to enjoy freely irrespective of his religion, race, caste, sex or nationality.
These are the moral principles or norms that describe certain standards of human behaviour and are regularly protected as natural and legal rights

Many of the basic ideas that animated the human rights movement developed in the aftermath of the Second World War and the events of the Holocaust,culminating in the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in Paris by the United Nations General Assembly in 1948. Ancient peoples did not have the same modern-day conception of universal human rights.The true forerunner of human rights discourse was the concept of natural rights which appeared as part of the medieval natural law tradition that became prominent during the European Enlightenment with such philosophers as John Locke, Francis Hutcheson and Jean-Jacques Burlamaqui and which featured prominently in the political discourse of the American Revolution and the French Revolution. From this foundation, the modern human rights arguments emerged over the latter half of the 20th century,possibly as a reaction to slavery, torture, genocide and war crimes, as a realisation of inherent human vulnerability and as being a precondition for the possibility of a just society.
Universally declaration of Human rights was made on 10th of December, 1948 and 10th December is celebrated as Human Rights Day...............
