Human Rights

Human Rights are basic rights which apply to all humans equally. The United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights states that: All human beings are born free and equal in human dignity and rights. Despite what would seem to be simple and elementary truths regarding human rights, it continues to be a contested arena with different nations and cultures parsing and shading the meaning of human rights according to their own lights.
