Human Rights are those rights which belong to an individual as a consequence of being a human being. They are based on elementary human needs. Some of these human needs are elemental for sheer physical survival and health. Others are elemental for physical survival and health. Such human rights can be perceived and enumerated. These rights are associated with the traditional concept of natural law. Human Right are commonly understood as inalienable fundamental rights to which a person is inherently entitled simply because he or she is a human being. According to Section-2(d) of the Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993 Human Rights means the rights relating to life, liberty, equality and dignity of the individual guaranteed by the constitution or embodied in the international covenants and enforceable by constitution in India.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, 1948 is a milestone in the field of human rights. The United Nations General Assembly Proclamations on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, 1948 resolved a common standard of achievement of all people and all nations. Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, 1948, provides that all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. Human rights, being the birth right, are therefore, inherent in all the individuals irrespective of their caste, creed, religion, sex and nationality. These rights are essential for all individuals as they are consonant with their freedom and dignity and are conducive to physical, moral, social and spiritual welfare. They are also necessary as they provide suitable conditions for the material and moral uplift of the people. In view of these immense significance to human beings, the human rights are also sometimes called as fundamental rights, basic rights, inherent rights, natural right and birth rights. Civil liberties are the rights guaranteed to citizens as a matter of fundamental rights. Human rights are essential for all round development of the personality of the individuals in society and, therefore, ought to be protected and be made available to all individuals.
