Human Rights are the fundamental rights and freedoms that belong to every person, regardless of nationality, sex, ethnicity, religion, or any other status. These rights are inherent to all human beings and are often seen as essential for the dignity and worth of individuals. Human rights include a range of protections and entitlements such as the right to life, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, the right to privacy, the right to education, and the right to work.
Human rights are typically categorized into three generations: civil and political rights (first generation), economic, social, and cultural rights (second generation), and collective and developmental rights (third generation). They are protected by national and international laws, treaties, and conventions, with bodies like the United Nations playing a crucial role in their promotion and protection globally.
