Human rights are based on the principle of respect for the individual. Their fundamental assumption is that each person is a moral and rational being who deserves to be treated with dignity. They are called human rights because they are universal. Whereas nations or specialized groups enjoy specific rights that apply only to them, human rights are the rights to which everyone is entitled—no matter who they are or where they live—simply because they are alive. Human rights are rights inherent to all human beings, whatever our nationality, place of residence, sex, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, language, or any other status. We are all equally entitled to our human rights without discrimination. These rights are all interrelated, interdependent and indivisible. Human rights are “rights and freedoms to which all humans are entitled.” Proponents of the concept usually assert that all humans are endowed with certain entitlements merely by reason of being human. Human rights are almost a form of religion in today’s world. They are the great ethical yardstick that is used to measure a government’s treatment of its people. The book will of immense utility to students, teachers, scholars, environmentalists, human rights organisations and general readers.
