United Nations defines human rights to be �rights inherent to all human beings, regardless of race, sex, nationality, ethnicity, language, religion, or any other status.� Human rights, simply put, are basic rights that are given to everyone without any sort of discrimination whatsoever.
In India, under Section 2 of the Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993, �human rights� refers to �rights relating to life, liberty, equality, and dignity of an individual guaranteed under the Constitution or embodied in the International Covenants and enforceable by courts in India.�
Human Rights Day is universally observed every year on the 10th of December.
