United Nations
The Declaration Of Human Rights
“Human rights are inscribed in the hearts of people”
What are human rights?
Human rights are the right and freedoms that we all have.
Some of the human rights are based in physical needs.
The right to life. To food. To shelter.
Other human rights protect us.
The right to be free from torture, cruel treatment and abuse
Human rights are also there to ensure we develop to our fullest potential
The right to education. To work. To participate in your community.
Everybody has human rights. It doesn’t matter who you are, where you come from, what language you speak or what religion you belong to. You have a duty to respect the rights of others, just as they have a duty to respect yours.
Nobody can take your rights away

What is the United Nations?
The UN is an international organisation that was established in 1945, the year the Second World War ended.
Its founders hoped it would be able to prevent catastrophes like the Holocaust from happening in the future.
So promoting human rights became an aim of the UN, along with maintaining international peace and reducing poverty.
