Human rights

international organization was established, the United Nations. It was dedicated

to maintaining peace and security and to solving humanitarian problems.

So in 1948, they developed a code of conduct for the protection of basic human rights to be used across the world. This was called the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

It is not legally binding, but its content has been incorporated into the laws of many countries and it has become a standard measure of human rights across the world.

However, there are still many countries and people who abuse these rights for example;-

set up to protect people . In the UK they

are included as part of our laws. Not all countries do this!!!
