Human Rights

Human are different from other animals. Humans are also called social animals. The behaviour done by the society and state towards the people must not be unprestigious. It should be based on peace, security and justice. Human rights are the basic rights and freedoms that all people are entitled to regardless of their age, sex, nationality, etc. The United Nations (UN) has declared Human rights in 1948 A.D. with an aim of providing necessary requirements for people's growth and development. It was the tireless efforts of Eleanor Roosevelt, the wife of the former US president, Franklin D Roosevelt which resulted in the issue of first Universal Declarations of the Human Rights by the UN on 10th December 1948.
