Human rights

1. What are human rights?

Human rights are "rights and freedoms to which all people are entitled. The rights can be a right as everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of people, the right of no one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment....

2. When did human rights start?

Human rights were passed on the 10th of December 1948.

3. Why were they created?

Human rights were created because some countries didn't respect the human rights, for example the problems between humans races depending on the colour of your skin, or the problem with slavery...

4. How many human rights are there?

There are 30 articles of rights.

5. Which human right were you not familiar with?

I think all of the human rights are very important because they defend the moral rights and social rights of the people. I also think that some of the rights are more important than others.

6. Choose one human right and discuss:
- Watch the video of your human right
- Is it fully respected in your country today? Justify with news, comments, studies on the subject (cite the links of your information sources)
- Do you know if it has been respected in the past? Why or why not?
-Where in the world is this right not complied with?

Article 6: Everyone has the right to recognition everywhere as a person before the law.

In my opinion this right is very important and true because I think all the people have the same rights before the law. Although some people think they are superior to other people because they have a better job than other people, but they have the same right as everybody.

In the past there wasn’t this right in the world, because the slaves and the lower class people didn't have the same rights as the upper class people. Some places in Africa isn't respect this right, for the example this video reflect the right of "Everyone has the right to recognition everywhere as a pesron before the law": http://www.youthforhumanrights.org/what-are-human-rights/videos/you-have-rights-no-matter-where-you-go.html

7. Are Humans rights relevant in the world today? why?

Yes. The humans rights are very relevants and very important so that people can be happy. If there weren't these rights, the world would be very unfair for people.
