Connecting human rights to everyday life
What are human rights?
Human rights are fundamental and universal rights. At their core all human rights embody values that emphasize human equality, dignity and liberty. The legal protection of human rights exists in two main ways: to limit the scope of government power over an individual or to give individuals and groups enforceable legal rights.
The universal nature of human rights is recognised in a number of international agreements which have been entered into by governments all over the world. These include the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, the Convention on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, the Convention on the Rights of the Child and many others. These international agreements contain both the substance of human rights obligations and mechanisms for their enforcement and monitoring.
Human rights fall into two broad categories: civil and political rights and economic, social and cultural rights.
Civil and political rights include:
Freedom of speech and association
Freedom from arbitrary arrest or detention
The right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty according to law
The right to defend oneself or use legal assistance of one’s own choosing
The right not to be subjected to arbitrary or unlawful interference with one’s privacy
Social and economic rights include:
Access to food, housing, work, education, social security and health care
The right to fair wages and safe working conditions
The right to education
The right to equal pay for equal work
