| Tóm tắt: | Human rights refers to the inalienable international legal, moral, and political
norms that protect the personal integrity, basic equality, political and
social identity, and participation of all people.13 “Human rights are universal:
they belong to every human being in society.”14 They include those
“benefits deemed essential for the individual well-being, dignity, and fulfillment,
and that reflect a common sense of justice, fairness and decency.”15
The concepts we now think of as human rights have their early origins in the
Magna Carta, which documented the resolution of a revolt by members of
the nobility against King John in 1215. That document included principles
that evolved into the foundations of representative democracy and human
rights. For example, the Magna Carta’s statement that a man may only be
punished “by lawful judgment of his peers or by the law of the land” evolved
into the “due process of law” principle. |
