In the past societies treated people very baldy, there was no such thing as universal suffrage, governments were elitist and tyrannical and slavery was a common practice the world over.
After centuries of campaigning and with the support of the major world religions, eventually a charter of what humans should expect of each other and the societies in which they live was drawn up and agreed by all nations.
This charter is called:- "The Universal Declaration of Human Rites" (see related links below).
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights was a world-wide, international declaration between the Member States of the United Nations, proclaiming their views on human rights.
-----------------------
Societies are however beginning to see the rites given under the declaration as a little one sided, and many now feel that while the declaration is fine in what it espouses, what is also needed is a balancing declaration of human responsibilities because the two go hand in hand. This would enable courts to balance the application of rites against an individuals discharge of their responsibilities.
