December 10th is Human Rights Day
Author: Gaurav Virk
Do you know your rights? Have you ever evaluated your rights? If not, how you will follow the legal course to redress the problems arising from it? Very few countries are serious in promoting education right for people to help you know your rights. Being a student of the Post-Graduate Diploma in Human Rights, I have attempted to summarize.

What is the Universal Declaration of Human Rights?

On December 10, 1948, the United Nations General Assembly adopted and proclaimed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It aims to promote respect for these rights and freedoms and their universal recognition and observance, both among the peoples of Member States themselves and among the peoples of territories under their jurisdiction. It is applicable to all UN member states, which are now almost all countries of the world. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights was not originally designed to be legally binding, but it became legally binding as customary law of the individual man. It lists the rights of your human beings in the world, called articles 30.

1 You are born free and equal and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood

2 You can not be discriminated against based on race, color, sex, language, religion, political or social origin.

3 You have the universal right to life, liberty and security.

4 You can not be held in slavery and the slave trade shall be prohibited in all their forms

5 You can not be subjected to torture or inhuman or degrading treatment in all countries.

6 Your rights are equal as a person before the law in all countries

7 You are entitled to equal protection against any discrimination in violation of this Declaration of Human Rights.

8. The universal human rights for all individuals are protected by the law of the country.

9 You can not be arbitrarily arrested, detained or exiled to a country.

10. You have the universal right to trial by an impartial tribunal means any criminal charge against you.


11. You have the universal right to continue innocent until proven guilty by a fair trial under the law in all countries.

12. You have the right to privacy protected by the law of the Member States.

13. You have the right to freedom of movement and residence within the borders of your country.

14 All individuals under persecution have the right to seek asylum in other countries as a safe place to live.

15. You can not be arbitrarily deprived of his nationality nor denied the right to change nationality

16. All men and women of marriageable age have the same rights to marry and grow a family.

17. You have the right to own property alone as well as in association with others.

18. You have the right to freedom of thought, conscience and the right to religion.

19. You have the right to freedom of opinion and expression

20. You have the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and association

21. You have the right to Democracy

22. You have the right to social security.

23. You have the right to work, to free choice of employment and reasonable working conditions.

24. You have the right to rest and leisure

25. You have the universal right to adequate food and shelter.

26. You have the universal right to education. Education shall be free, at least in the elementary and fundamental

27. You have the right to participate in the cultural life of the community and the right to protection of moral and material interests.

28. You have the universal right to a fair trial and Free World

29. You have the right responsibility

30. All machines in the United Nations and Member States and their various acts of the judiciary is intended to work in the target set in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, 1948.

Do you know how many people in the world are entitled to these rights? Do you know how those rights are accepted by the law of your country? Most UN member states have completed the paper required to accept these rights and to punish those who violate it. But the practical spirit is lacking, even in developed countries. Do you know that the empowerment of social justice is missing in the world? Large companies are exploiting your rights and cause an imbalance in the distribution of wealth and pollution of the global environment. Do you know that good food and housing is still denied to most people in the world? Do you know that the right to basic education is still denied to children in the world? Many are not even aware of this right.

Have you tried to know that the right to good food and accommodation is included in your Universal Declaration of Human Rights? Have you ever tried to know that the right to basic education is covered in your Universal Declaration of Human Rights? Have you ever tried to know that freedom of expression is within your rights? Have you ever tried to know that the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion is included in your rights universal? Have you ever tried to know that you are fully aware and support the human rights of all human beings in the world? If human rights are followed with honesty, peace in human life in the world is already achieved? It is my perception
