Human Rights Day is Celebrated all over the world on 10th Decenber 2010. The date was chosen to honor the United Nations General Assembly's adoption and proclamation, on 10 December 1948, of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), the first global enunciation of human rights.
Human rights are really fundamental to human existence and good life. There may be some disagreement on the details of human rights, but there is hardly any disagreement on basic aspects of human rights. Human rights were always violated in the human history. The rulers, the local powerful people mostly oppressed people and did not grant them full enjoyment of human rights. Even the religious leadership in some cases were responsible for violation of human rights.
Some of the rights enshrined in this declaration include:-
- The freedom of movement
- The freedom of thought
- The right to seek asylum
- The freedom of speech
- The right to education
- The freedom of expression
- The freedom to a peaceful assembly amongst other rights.
