“Human rights
are inscribed in the
 hearts of people”
  Mary Robinson, former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights
WHAT ARE HUMAN RIGHTS?
Human rights are the rights and freedoms that we all have.

• Some human rights are based on our physical needs.
  The right to life. To food. To shelter.

• Other human rights protect us.
  The right to be free from torture, cruel treatment and abuse.

• Human rights are also there to ensure we develop to our fullest potential.
  The right to education. To work. To participate in your community.

Everybody has human rights. It doesn’t matter who you are, where you come
from, what language you speak or what religion you belong to. You have a
duty to respect the rights of others, just as they have a duty to respect yours.
Nobody can take your rights away.
WHY DO HUMAN RIGHTS MATTER TO ME?
Human rights matter to us all.

In the UK:

• One child in three is poor

• One child in four is physically abused

• One child in seven does not have
  a proper home

It is vital that all young people know their rights!
WHERE DO RIGHTS COME FROM?
Human rights are based on the values of:

• Dignity

• Justice

• Respect

• Equality

Human rights were officially recognised as values by the world when the
United Nations was set up.
WHAT IS THE UNITED NATIONS?
• The United Nations (UN) is an international organisation that was e e e e
e established in 1945, the year the Second World War ended.

• Its founders hoped it would be able to prevent catastrophes like the
  e Holocaust from happening in the future.

• So promoting human rights became an aim of the UN, along with e
e maintaining international peace and reducing poverty.
THE UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS

The United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is the most
famous human rights agreement in the world. It contains 30 human rights.

According to the UDHR,
you have the right to:
These are some of the rights:
•   Life, liberty and security.
•   Freedom from slavery and torture.
•   Freedom from discrimitation.
•   Equality before the law.
•   A fair and public trial.
•   Be considered innocent until proven guilty.
•   Privacy.
•   Freedom of movement.
•   Seek and enjoy political asylum in other countries.
•   A nationality.
• Marry and have a family.
• Own property.
• Freedom of thought, conscience and religion.
• Freedom of opinion and expression.
• Hold peaceful meetings.
• Work.
• Rest and leisure.
• Food, clothing, shelter, medical care and social
  services.
• Education.
THE KEY MESSAGES OF THE UNIVERSAL DECLARATION ARE
              THAT HUMAN RIGHTS ARE:

• Universal

• Equal

• Interdependent & indivisible

• Inalienable
WHO WROTE THE UDHR?
The people who wrote the UDHR came from: Australia, Chile, China, France,
Lebanon, the former Soviet Union, the UK and the US.




                                Lebanon
HOW DOES THE UDHR PROTECT HUMAN RIGHTS?
The UDHR is an international statement of values that has inspired over 80
treaties containing human rights laws, including the main UN human rights
treaties.
WHY SHOULD I CARE?
The following story is just one example of a child in the UK whose rights have
been abused.
SO, HOW CAN CHILDREN CLAIM THEIR RIGHTS?

• KNOW your rights

• KNOW how they are protected in the UK

• KNOW how (and where) to claim them
