“Derechos Humanos” translates to “Human Rights” in English. Human rights are the basic rights and freedoms that belong to every person, regardless of nationality, sex, ethnic origin, religion, language, or any other status. They are universal principles that ensure individuals can live with dignity, equality, and respect.
Human rights encompass a wide range of protections, including civil and political rights such as the right to life, freedom of expression, and the right to a fair trial, as well as economic, social, and cultural rights like the right to education, health, and an adequate standard of living.
The concept of human rights is rooted in the belief that all human beings are entitled to fundamental rights simply by being human. These rights are often enshrined in legal frameworks, such as national constitutions and international treaties, including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights adopted by the United Nations in 1948. Human rights serve as vital tools for promoting justice, accountability, and the rule of law while safeguarding individuals from abuses by governments or other entities.
