WHAT ARE HUMAN RIGHTS? Human rights are the rights and freedoms that we all have. Some human rights are based on our 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.

WHY DO HUMAN RIGHTS MATTER TO ME? Human rights matter to us all. In the World: Every second child is poor One child in seven is physically abused One in three don’t have an adequate home It is vital that all young people know their rights!

WHERE DO RIGHTS COME FROM? Human rights are based on the values of: Dignity Justice Respect Equality Human rights were officially recognised as values by the world when the United Nations was set up.

WHAT IS THE UNITED NATIONS? The United Nations (UN) is an international organization 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.

THE UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS The United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is the most famous human rights agreement in the world. It contains 30 human rights. According to the UDHR, you have the right to:

THE KEY MESSAGES OF THE UNIVERSAL DECLARATION ARE THAT HUMAN RIGHTS ARE: Universal Equal Interdependent & indivisible Inalienable

WHO WROTE THE UDHR? The people who wrote the UDHR came from: Australia, Chile, China, France, Lebanon, the former Soviet Union, the UK and the US. Lebanon

HOW DOES THE UDHR PROTECT HUMAN RIGHTS? The UDHR is an international statement of values that has inspired over 80 treaties containing human rights laws, including the main UN human rights treaties.

WHY SHOULD I CARE? The following story is just one example of a child in the UK whose rights have been abused. DO YOU THINK ROBERT’S HUMAN RIGHTS WERE VIOLATED? WHY OR WHY NOT?

SO, HOW CAN CHILDREN CLAIM THEIR RIGHTS? KNOW your rights KNOW how they are protected in the US KNOW how (and where) to claim them
