All Human Beings are all entitled to some fundamental inalienable, non-discriminatory, indivisible and universal rights which is termed Human Rights.
These Fundamental Rights of humans will allow all human being to live in freedom, equality, fairness, respect, peace and justice.
There is neither discrimination nor distinction in human rights. It doesn't matter if you are are white or black, a Nigerian or a Chinese, male or female, physically challenged or physically complete, rich or poor, Yoruba, Igbo or Hausa, Christian, Muslim or Hindu.
The point is: "we all share the same human rights.
Understanding and exercising our rights as human beings is vital for our social, physical, spiritual and mental development. These rights are present in international law and also, in a country’s constitution.
Note: No one can take your Fundamental Human Rights away from you; although in some special cases, they may be restricted from someone; for instance if such person is considered a threat or perhaps, in the interest of national security.
The means to satisfy the basic human needs (that is, food, water, housing, access to medical facilities and education) are all covered by the Fundamental Human Rights.
In addition, human rights protect us from the brutality and abuse of those in power.
The Rights of all human beings share the following characteristics or features:
Universality: They belong to all human being.
Non-discriminatory: They are the same for all race and tribe, thus should be respected by all without prejudice.
Indivisible: They are connected and cannot be treated in isolation.
Inalienable: They cannot be taken away from any person.
Interconnected: They depend on one another and are connected.
Note: The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is the first international document to show the basic, civil, economic, political, social and cultural rights that all human beings must enjoy.
Ratification of the UDHR by the United Nations (UN) was done on December 10, 1948.
