Human rights refer to basic rights and freedoms to which all humans are entitled.  They signify basic standards which allow people to live in dignity. To violate someone’s human rights is to treat that person as though she or he were not a human being. To advocate human rights is to demand that the human dignity of all people be respected.

• Human Rights are inherent to each individual
• Human rights are individual 
• Human rights are indisputable
• Human rights are inseparable
