Historical Background of Human Rights
 Magna Carta (1215)
 The Magna Carta (also called Magna Chat-ta)17 granted by King John of
England to the English baron on June 15, 1215 was in response to the heavy
taxation burden created by the third Crusade and the reason of Richard-I. The
conception of human rights from the recognition of U.K. perspective may be
found in Magna Carta. The Magna Carta of 1215 CE, is considered as an
important milestone in the human rights struggle, where the freemen English
feudal lords intended to restrain the king from arbitrary arrest or punishment of
any kind. Consequently, Magna Carta was only concerned with baronial liberties
rather than universal human rights. This Great Charter promised that no civil or
criminal action would be taken against any free man without sufficient proof.The
critics pointed out that this Great Charter was a set of baronial demands and not
an assertion of the rights of all individuals.
Medina (622)
 The main foundation of human rights was establishedin 622 AD by the proclamation
of the Charter of Medina by the Holy Prophet. The Charter of Medina is considered
to be the world's first complete written constitution. The charter contains a total of
47 articles which are the first to explicitly state human rights. Notable passages:
 All the signatories of the Charter will form a common nation and all the communities
will enjoy equal civil rights.
 All citizens shall enjoy full religious freedom. No one can interfere with anyone's
religion.
 The state will ensure the rights and security of citizens. All forms of bloodshed,
murder and rape are prohibited.If a person commits a personal crime, it will be
treated as a personal crime. Because of that, the perpetrator's community cannot be
held responsible. The weak and the helpless should be helped in every possible way.
Al- Risalah al Huqqah (659-713)
 Treatise on Rights” is attributed to Imam Zayn al-‘Abidin A.S. His other works
include Sahifa-eSajjadia supplications, sayings and letters.
 The “Treatise on Rights” elaborates on a well-known saying of the Prophet
(pbuh&p), which has been transmitted in several versions, because he repeated it in
many different contexts. A typical version may be rendered as follows:
 “Surely your Lord has a right against you, and you have a right against yourself, and
your wife has a right against you.”
Continue
 God has made seven rights incumbent upon a person of faith (al-Mu’min)
toward another person of faith, these are the following:
 To respect him
 Love him in his heart
 Have a share for him in his wealth
 Consider backbiting against him unlawful
 Visit him in his illness
 (When he dies) escort his coffin
 Say nothing but good about him after his death.
The English Bill of Rights (1689)
 The English Bill of Rights contributed towards the development of fundamental
rights.This Bill was a part of major settlement between the Crown and
Parliament and like Magna Carta it also constituted a demarcation of powers.
Nonetheless, some of general principles such as prohibition of illegal and cruel
punishments assumed universal significance and subsequently appeared in
many instruments including UDHR.
France Declaration of Rights (1789)
 French Declaration of Rights (1789)
 The representatives of the people of France, formed into a National Assembly,
considering that ignorance, neglect, or contempt of human rights, are the sole
causes of public misfortunes and corruptions of Government, have resolved to
set forth in a solemn declaration, these natural, imprescriptible, and inalienable
rights: that this declaration being constantly present to the minds of the
members of the body social, they may be for ever kept attentive to their rights
and their duties; that the acts of the legislative and executive powers of
government, being capable of being every moment compared with the end of
political institutions, may be more respected; and also, that the future claims of
the citizens, being directed by simple and incontestable principles, may tend to
the maintenance of the Constitution, and the general happiness.
Natural Rights Of Jhon Locke
 This natural rights had a divine foundation which considered as the will of the
Creator or God. A clear idea of ​​this can be found in the concept of sovereign
natural rights, which many European philosophers of the seventeenth and
eighteenth centuries put forward in their writings. Here they express the view
that rights and obligations are manifested collectively in the state by the
respective initiatives of individuals. Social contract theorists have elaborated the
natural rights of the human community by giving various interpretations of
natural law.
 The new trend of social contract theory created by the development of social
contract theory by the eighteenth century philosopher John Locke later
contributed to the development of human rights theory. In Locke's Social
Contract Theory, in The Second Treatise of the State (1689), he argued that, as
creatures of God or nature, every human being is by nature free and equal.
Conclusion
 In conclusion it can be said that, the word human rights is essentially a recent
phenomenon however the spirit is as old as the human civilization. Human
Rights are a dynamic concept and endeavours to adopt itself to the needs of the
day. Human rights constitute those very rights which one has precisely because
of being a human. In their basic meaning, human rights are claims of the
individuals for such conditions, which are essential for the fullest realization of
the innate characteristic which nature has bestowed upon him/her with as a
human being.
