All the human beings in this world are at liberty to enjoy some basic Rights and Freedom. As per article 1 of United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), “All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.”
The most commonly referred human rights include civil and political rights, such as the right to life and liberty, freedom of expression, and equality before the law; and social, cultural and economic rights, including the right to participate in culture, the right to food, the right to work, and the right to education. However, any disregard and derision for human rights have resulted in barbarous acts which have outraged the conscience of mankind.
Human Rights violation occurs when any state or non-state actor violates international human rights or humanitarian law. Human rights abuses are monitored by United Nations committees, national institutions and governments and by many independent non-governmental organizations. In this era there are several areas of concern include wars of aggression, war crimes and crimes against humanity, including genocide, massacres and the starvation of entire populations.
Rather than simply killing off whole populations, government forces may carry out programs of torture. Torture can be either physical or psychological, and aims at the humiliation of the dignity of the person. Torture is used in some cases as a way to carry out interrogations and extract confessions or information. In addition to torture, tens of thousands of people detained in connection with conflicts "disappear" each year, and are usually killed and buried in secret. Abuse of human rights often leads to conflict, and conflict typically results in human rights violations. Violations of political and economic rights are the root causes of many crises.
