why should the state protect the rights of human
Answers
Human rights are important in the relationships that exist between individuals and the government that has power over them. The government exercises power over its people. However, human rights mean that this power is limited. States have to look after the basic needs of the people and protect some of their freedoms.
States have the obligation to respect and implement all the provisions of the Declaration, and in particular to ensure the rights and protections contained for human rights defenders.
The Declaration on human rights defenders specifically provides that each State has the obligation and the responsibility:
To protect, promote and implement all human rights, and more precisely to ensure that all persons under its jurisdiction are able to enjoy all social, economic, political and other rights and freedoms in practice
