Human Rights is a term used to describe the basic rights available to each and every individual for having a dignified life. According to the United Nations, "Human Rights are rights inherent to all human beings, regardless of race, sex, nationality, ethnicity, language, religion, or any other status. Human rights include the right to life and liberty, freedom from slavery and torture, freedom of opinion and expression, the right to work and education, and many more. Everyone is entitled to these rights, without discrimination."
There is an expansion in the concept of human rights over the years since Universal Declaration on Human Rights was proclaimed on 10th December, 1948 by the United Nations General Assembly in Paris.
Since the year 1945, there are number of treaties done on the subject of International Human Rights which includes Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (1948), the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (1965), the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (1979), the Convention on the Rights of the Child (1989) and the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (2006).
In Indian context, human rights are one of the most debated topics. Though there are many efforts taken in this respect by the government, through the enforcement of laws, involvement of through the enforcement of laws, involvement of Media, and the different organizations of Human Rights, but still there are many challenges on the subject of the Human Rights in the world and in the present times it is limited to just being a virtual concept.
