International Relations Human Rights Questions
Human rights are fundamental rights and freedoms that are inherent to all individuals, regardless of their nationality, race, gender, religion, or any other status. They are universal, inalienable, and indivisible, meaning they apply to every person and cannot be taken away or separated from one another. Human rights encompass a wide range of principles and entitlements, including the right to life, liberty, and security of person, freedom of thought, expression, and religion, the right to a fair trial, and protection against torture, discrimination, and slavery, among others. These rights are protected and promoted by international human rights law, which sets out the obligations of states to respect, protect, and fulfill the human rights of their citizens and individuals within their jurisdiction.
