Human Rights are the rights you simply have because you're human. They are based on the principle of respect for the individual because everybody deserves to be treated with dignity.
They are called Human Rights because they are universal, but as we can see and observe, not everybody follows them.
It's history was complicated and long lasting. After a long time fighting for the declaration and a lot of tragic experiences like the Second World War, they finally realized the need of some basic human rights that can regulate and avoid future human catastrophes, and so they got legal in 1948 under the chairmanship of Eleanor Roosevelt.
Actually, the Declaration consists of 30 laws based on universality, interdependence and indivisibility, equality and non-discrimination, though only 80 percent of nations ratified four o five laws. It's obvious that the more developed and modern nations follow the most laws, like freedom from slavery, life, liberty and securety, legal recognition, asylum and freedom of expression.
Personally, like most of people I knew about the existence of the Human Rights, but I had no idea what they exactly were and how many. What shocked me the most is that I thought that these laws have to be necessary followed by each country and not only for those who want to.
I didn't knew about the existence of the right to play, which consists of the right to rest and leisure, including reasonable limitation of working hours and holidays with pay. The name of this right seems a little bit funny but it's absolutely necessary for our personal life.
