Universal human rights are the basic rights and freedoms that belong to every person, regardless of nationality, gender, ethnicity, or religion. These rights are based on the principle of respect for all individuals and include the right to life, freedom of speech, and the right to education. They aim to ensure that everyone can live with dignity and equality. The concept of universal human rights was formally recognized in 1948 with the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by the United Nations. This document outlines fundamental rights that should be protected for all people, serving as a global standard for human rights practices.
