Human rights are the rights and freedoms that all people are entitled to. They spring from the concept of natural rights.
Natural rights is a complicated topic with many facets and the concept dates back at least to late Antiquity. Briefly, natural rights have been described as universal, inalienable rights that all people are entitled to regardless of political and legal institutions and beyond the authority of secular or religious authorities. Some people recognize no difference between natural rights and human rights which include: life, liberty and property; freedom from oppression; self determination; religious freedom; equality; privacy.
The view of natural/human rights has changed from one era to the next. However, there is no universal description of natural rights and they are viewed as non-sensical by many since they are truly non-existent for millions of people around the world and have been throughout history, i.e., witness the enslavers and the enslaved who have always been a part of human history. One school of thought holds that in the natural state only the strongest can benefit from their natural rights so people form a social contract ceding their natural rights to an authority (government) to protect them from abuse by the stronger individuals.Although every human is entitled to human rights we must depend on governments to provide them. The reality is that not all governments provide their citizens with human rights. In many countries the people are exploited, abused, tortured, killed by government troops, starving, denied education and medical treatment and live on the edge of death every day depending on relief provided by other countries. In some cases that reality is made worse when the government leaders are themselves rich and living in luxury.
In 1948 the General Assembly of the United Nations adopted and proclaimed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The declaration recognized the inherent dignity and the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family in its preamble. You can read the full text at the UN website.
