Description:
Human rights have been defined as “the rights a person has simply because he or she is a human being. Furthermore it is commonly understood as basic values common to all cultures, and must be respected by countries worldwide. Some authors evaluate Human rights as held equally by every human being everywhere irrespective of their socio-economic status and therefore are universal. However, Human rights are still the contested concept despite the fact that these rights have been internationalized through the development of the UN system of human rights.
