Explanation:
"Human rights" are those rights which inhere in every human being by virtue of being a person. These are nothing but the modern name of what had been traditionally known as "natural rights" i.e. rights bestowed upon human beings by nature. "Human rights" are based on mankind's increasing demand for a decent civilized life in which the inherent dignity of each human being is well respected and protected. Human rights are fundamental to our very existence without which we cannot live as human beings. The basic human rights constitute what might be called "sacrosanct rights" from which no derogation can be permitted in a civilised society. The bare necessities, the minimum and basic requirements which are essential and unavoidable for a person are the core of human rights concept. Human rights are universal and cut across all national boundaries and political frontiers.
