Civil rights vary from country to country - although there is a Declaration of Human Rights (from the United Nations) - and so all 'rights' are derived from the society a person lives in. We give each other these rights to make community living easier and to help in formulating laws and punishments. (OR for a short answer, The Bill of Rights)
Civil liberties are rights the law gives to citizens, whereas natural rights belong to all humans regardless of what the law says.
Rights and responsibilities both involve obligations or duties that individuals have in society. They are interconnected, as rights often come with corresponding responsibilities. For example, the right to free speech comes with the responsibility to respect the rights of others. Both rights and responsibilities are essential for creating a balanced and harmonious society.
Society for Human Rights ended in 1925.
Society for Human Rights was created in 1924.
Overall, balance between individual rights and the good of society is the key to finding a successful, happy society. In general rights of the individuals are more important when and where they do not encroach on the rights of other individuals, but where they interact the good of society must come first. The action followed must be that which will most benefit society. Thus, when someone acts out against society, such as through theft or murder, directly violating another individual's rights it is in the interest of society to stop them. In that case, the good of society must come before the right of the errant individual to do whatever he jolly well pleases. Thus laws are created as a way of determining in those interactions who is right, who is wrong, and how society should react to those actions.
International Society for Human Rights was created in 1972.
The vast majority of Atheists do believe that basic human rights are inherent within people rather then mandated by any god. They come from humans, and can only be achieved though human intervention.
