What are Human Rights?

Os Human Rights These are the rights that guide human beings individually and also in society. Furthermore, the State and the State's obligations to and for human beings are also governed by these rights.

How did they come about?

The official letter with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was published in 1948 by United Nations (UN). The Declaration and the UN were born almost together, as the organization began its activities in 1945.

Representatives from 50 countries met to draft this Declaration, which aimed to guarantee peace and respect among peoples. And then, the UN Human Rights Commission.

Currently, 193 countries are signatories to the UN and must guarantee the basic rights of the population in their countries.

Here in Brazil, the 1988 Federal Constitution is closely aligned with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Nothing above it: what is a Constitution?

In this election period, there is nothing better than understanding our rights and duties. You may have heard that something is “unconstitutional” or that “it is guaranteed by the Constitution”. But after all, what is the Constitution?

O Curto News talked to president of the OAB-SP Human Rights Commission, Priscila Akemi Beltrame, which explained what the Human Rights.

“Human rights is a platform for social construction based on the historical and legal affirmation of these rights and the enjoyment of these rights by the people of the planet”He explained.

Furthermore, Priscila explained that “they are open, historical, indeterminate and plural and are based on freedoms, dignity and fraternity”.

Os Human Rights are inalienable e universals, that is, everyone has the right to them, no one can take them from anyone or give them up.
