In the United States that document is called the Bill of Rights, which are the first ten amendments to the United States Constitution. There are several other national and international documents that describe basic human rights. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is a non-binding declaration adopted by the United Nations. The Geneva Conventions safeguard the rights of participants in armed conflict.
