Meaning of Human Rights
Rights are things we are entitled to. In Nigeria we cast our votes during election because we have the right to vote here but cannot vote in Ghana. Similarly, Ghanaians cannot vote in Nigeria.
Human rights are the basic natural rights which are vital for human existence and all individuals are entitled to them and are expected to enjoy them in full no matter who they are or where they come from. They enjoy these rights because they are humans. In time past, there was nothing like human rights, however only the rich were having preferential treatment.
Historical Background of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR)
The background to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights can be traced back to Cyprus the Great, first king of Ancient Persia who conquered the city of Babylon.
