Human Rights Research 1
What are Human Rights? Where are they documented?
The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) defines human rights as follows:
“Human rights are rights inherent to all human beings, whatever our nationality, place of residence, sex, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, language, or any other status. We are all equally entitled to our human rights without discrimination. These rights are all interrelated, interdependent and indivisible.”
These rights are documented in the universal declaration of Human rights, which was created in 1944, the covenant on civil and political rights and also in the international covenant of social economic and cultural rights.
Who is in charge of monitoring and enforcing Human Rights?
The human rights treaty bodies are committees of independent experts that monitor implementation of the core international human rights treaties. Each State party to a treaty has an obligation to take steps to ensure that everyone in the State can enjoy the rights set out in the treaty.
There are ten in total. And these rights are enforced through the UN
Unfortunately the only real force responsible for enforcing these rights is the national governments.
