HUMAN RIGHTS POPOUT
Human rights are international norms that help to protect all people everywhere from severe political, legal, and social abuses. These rights exist in morality and in law at the national and international levels. They are addressed primarily to governments, requiring compliance and enforcement. The main sources of the contemporary conception of human rights are the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the many human rights documents and treaties that followed in international organizations. The philosophy of human rights questions about the existence, content, nature, universality, justification, and legal status of human rights.
