Human rights are the rights that humans have and are entitled to simply by virtue of being humans. They are inherent and inalienable rights that human beings require to live a dignified life. Collectively they are a comprehensive, holistic statement elaborated and codified in the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). All human rights—civil, political, economic, social and cultural—are recognized as a universal, inherent, inalienable, indivisible and interdependent body of rights.
