Human rights are rights inherent to all human beings, regardless of race, sex, nationality, ethnicity, language, religion, or any other status. They include the right to life and liberty, freedom from slavery and torture, freedom of opinion and expression, the right to work and education, and many more. These rights become operative with birth. Modern human rights are those conferred by states in international law, with key developments including the UN Charter, Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948, and Vienna Declaration in 1993. There are two kinds of rights - civil/political rights and economic/social/cultural rights. Engineers transitioning into management require new skills like delegation, motivation, communication, and understanding of business/legal responsibilities,

Declaration adopted by the World conference on Human rights in

are universal, indivisible and interdependent and inter-related and
that democracy, development and respect for human rights and
fundamental freedoms are interdependent and mutually reinforcing.
The conference reaffirmed the right to development as a universal
inalienable right and an integral part of the fundamental human
rights.
• The legal process in the universality of human rights effectively
commenced with the universal declaration of human rights 1948
(UDHR).
• Adoption of the UN charter in the aftermath of the Second World
War can rightly be considered as a landmark in the journey towards
universal acceptance of human rights.

5. • Through a long process of evolution , modern human rights
jurisprudence has crystallized into three basic principles:
• The principle of universal inherence: Every human being has certain
rights, capable of being enumerated and defined which are not
conferred on him by any ruler, nor earned or acquired by purchase,
but which inhere in him by virtue of his humanity alone.
• The principle of inalienability: no human being can be deprived of
any of those rights by the acts of any ruler or even by his own act or
in a democracy even by the will of the majority of the sovereign
people.
• The rule of Law : Where rights conflict with each other, the conflicts
must be resolved by the consistent, independent and impartial
application of just laws in accordance with just procedures.
