UNITED NATION HUMAN RIGHT DECLARATION: CHALLENGES IN CONTEMPORARY SOCIETY

The concept of human rights is the root of the concept of natural rights. Every human being is born with certain rights. These assumptions are based on human rights. “The concept appears to have been coined by Greek and Roman thinkers as well as by Christian philosophers and jurists such as Thomas Aquinas.” “It is based on the writings of Hugo Grossius, known as the father of international law in the seventeenth century” and later by Milton and Locke. “In England, a law known as the Magna Carta was passed in 1215.” Since then, the idea that there should be restrictions on state power has spread. This was further clarified by the "Petition of Rights" in 1628 and the “Bill of Rights” in 1689. The protection of human rights was the main objective of American Independence 1776 and the American Declaration of Fundamental Independence of 1791. The French Revolution and the subsequent Declaration of the Rights of the Freedom of the People and the Civil Rights were an important milestone. In England, the monarchy was completely overthrown and the sovereignty of the representative body (Parliament) was established, a victory for democracy. The culmination of that sovereignty is the establishment of the 'rule of law'. Human rights were the driving force behind the French Revolution. The same was true of American independence and the Constitution. The same is true of the fundamental rights enshrined in the Constitution of India. "The Russian constitution also promises to free the individual from economic and social exploitation. But it does not provide for the release of the individual from the extreme control of the government. The Russian Constitution places special emphasis on the social and economic rights of individuals." Without social and economic rights, political freedom alone does not make sense. But these two kinds of freedoms are complementary. The constitution of the Western nations was intended to protect individual freedom from political power, while the 1936 constitution of Soviet Russia emphasized the provision of all the facilities required for the enjoyment of these freedoms.
