Human Rights?

What are human rights?

This is a number of topics in itself. I'll start with the overview and I'll take each one up as the days go by.

To start:

THE UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS (UDHR)


The abridged text (found here) covers things such as:

    1. We are all free and equal. We are all born free. We all have our own thoughts and ideas. We should all be treated in the same way.

    7. We are all protected by the law. The law is the same for everyone. It must treat us all fairly.

    25. A bed and some food. We all have the right to a good life. Mothers and children, people who are old, unemployed or disabled, and all people have the right to be cared for.

These are points in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (full text).

This document was adopted by the United Nations in 10 December, 1948. But did you know what document sais? How many people do you know have ever heard of the UDHR?

This is garenteed to all people, it is these rights which stand inalienable to anyone. Each one of them has been made into short films by human rights activist Teran Lexton with Youth for Human Rights International and the Church of Scientology International.
