Human Rights are concerned with the principles of justice and equality for everyone. They are not a recent invention but are a product of the past. Human rights are commonly considered as superior to any other rights like fundamental rights and a person is entitled to these rights because of the fact that he/she was born as human being regardless of his/her nation, location, caste, creed, race, sex, or any other status. Human rights are applicable everywhere and at every point of time and they desire equality for all human beings. Each person has his own dignity and worth. One of the measures that we can adopt to recognize the fundamental worth of every person is by enhancing and respecting their human rights without providing for any scope of violation. Human rights also help us to recognize our freedom and liberty to make choices about our lives and to develop our future as human beings. They also include- living a life free from fear, terror, harassment, inequality, or discrimination. These human rights are equal for all people living in any part of the world – men and women, rich and poor, old and young, regardless of their status. This is what makes the concept and scope of human rights \'universal\' in nature. Human rights also serve as a bridge to connect with each other through a shared set of rights and responsibilities.
