HUMAN RIGHTS


1. What are human rights?
Human rights are the basic rights and freedoms to which all humans are entitled.
2. When did human rights start?
The human rights were made by the United Nations General Assembly on 1948.
3. Why were they created?
They were created as a response to Second World War to protect the rights and freedoms of people.
4. How many human rights are there?
There are 30 human rights.
5. Which human right were you not familiar with?
I wasn't familiar with the article 14 which says that everyone has the right to seek and to enjoy in other countries asylum from persecution. I think that sometimes this right could be very useful for people who have done any crime.
6. Choose one human right and discuss:
I think that article 3:Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person is the most important one because is which preserve the essence of a human. So I've chosen this right. I think that in my country it's respected as you can see in this link. When there was Franco's dictatorship it wasn't respected surely and nowadays is not complied in some countries with dictatorship gorvernment.
7. Are Human rights relevant in the world today?
I think they would be relevant if in every country are complied.
