The philosophy of Human Rights is reflected in the following popular version
“Loka Samastha Sukhino Bhawanthu” which means that the entire humanity be
happy. The greatest gift of classical and contemporary human thought to culture and
civilization is the notion of Human Rights. The struggle to preserve, protect and
promote basic Human Rights continues in every generation in every society. New
rights arise from the womb of the old. Today we widen the sphere of Human Rights
thought and action to new areas and constituencies1
.
Human Rights are rooted in the culture and values of every nation of the
world. To understand the true significance of the concept of Human Rights, we must
know its historical context. The development of Human Rights and then recognition
and protection at the international level can be divided into different periods. It would
therefore be logical to start with the concept of natural right which eventually led to
the formulation of Human Rights.
2.2 Natural Law and Natural Rights in Ancient times
The idea of Natural Rights is very old. In the classical literature of Ancient
Greece from 5
th century B.C. we come across a striking expression of the belief in the
power exercised by the gods on human society, based on law. According to the
Ancient Greece writers, the god establishes a law which stand above the obligations
and interdictions imposed by the rules of the community.
