Human rights


"Human rights are rights inherent to all human beings, whatever our nationality, place of residence, sex, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, language, or any other status. We are all equally entitled to our human rights without discrimination. These rights are all interrelated, interdependent and indivisible." says the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR). Finally, our human rights are the rights we have just because we are human.

First there were no human rights so when and why they were created? If you didn't know it, a guy named Cyrus the Great decided to change the conditions of slaves in 535 BC. After conquering babylon, he said that all slaves were free to go and that they could choose their religion no matter what crowd they were.
Parts of the words of Cyrus have been documented in a clay table known as the Cyrus cylinder. Here appeared the first Human rights.

Nowadays, there are thirty human rights. They are in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights done in 1948 by the United Nations . Let's talk about the first article "We are all born free and equal". You should know that all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.

Despite being a human right, through history it happens many times that it has been violated. For exemple the oppressor Hitler put up concentration camps and transported Jews from their homes, put them on trains, and sent them to their death. They were killed without any say and all their rights were long forgotten.
