Human rights
• Human rights as those rights which human
beings can live with dignity, freedom (political,
economic, social and cultural) and justice in
any nation or state regardless of colour, place
of birth, ethnicity, race, religion, gender, etc.
These rights are inherent in human nature and
therefore guaranteed and protected by the
state without distinction of any sort.
characteristics of human rights
• Universality: Human rights are universal and apply to
all people, everywhere, at all times. They are not
specific to any particular culture, religion, or tradition.
• Inalienability: Human rights cannot be taken away or
transferred to others. They are inherent to all human
beings, simply by virtue of being human.
• Indivisibility and interdependence: All human rights are
indivisible, meaning they are equal in importance and
cannot be ranked or prioritized. They are also
interdependent, as the realization of one right often
depends on the realization of others.
characteristics of human rights
• Equality and non-discrimination: Human rights
are based on the principle of equality and non-
discrimination. All individuals are entitled to the
same rights without distinction of any kind, such
as race, color, sex, language, religion, political or
other opinion, national or social origin, property,
birth or other status.
• Inalienable: Human rights are inalienable,
meaning they cannot be taken away or denied,
except in specific situations and according to due
process of law.
characteristics of human rights
• Inherent: Human rights are inherent to all human beings,
regardless of any external circumstances or recognition by
the state or legal system.
• Interrelated: Human rights are interrelated, meaning that
the violation of one right often leads to the violation of
others, and the promotion of one right supports the
promotion of others.
• Imprescriptible: Human rights cannot be forfeited or lost
due to the passage of time or through non-use.
• Non-derogable: Certain fundamental human rights, such as
the right to life and the prohibition of torture, cannot be
suspended or limited, even in times of emergency or armed
conflict.
What are they?
Civil rights
• Civil rights refer to the basic rights and
freedoms that are guaranteed to all
individuals within a state or territory,
regardless of their race, religion, ethnicity,
gender, or other characteristics. These rights
are typically enshrined in a country's
constitution or legal system, and they aim to
protect individuals from discrimination and
ensure equal treatment under the law.
Political rights
• Political rights refer to the rights and freedoms
that allow individuals to participate in the
political process and have a say in how they
are governed. These rights are essential for
the functioning of a democratic society and
are often enshrined in national constitutions
and international human rights treaties.
Economic rights
• Economic rights are a set of rights and
entitlements that aim to ensure that
individuals have access to the basic economic
resources and opportunities needed for a
decent standard of living and to participate
fully in economic life.
Social rights
• Social rights refer to the rights and
entitlements that aim to ensure a basic
standard of living and promote social welfare
for all members of society. These rights are
intended to provide individuals with access to
essential services and resources that are
necessary for a dignified life and full
participation in society.
Cultural rights
• Cultural rights refer to the rights and freedoms
that protect and promote the cultural
identities, practices, and expressions of
individuals and communities. These rights aim
to ensure that people can freely participate in
the cultural life of their choice and have their
cultural heritage and diversity respected and
protected.
