Their origin can be seen in many different ways, but the institutional one was in 1948, when the UN organisation signed the "Universal Declaration of Human Rights" where this 30 rights were considered basic and essential for all the human beings. They were created after very dark eras. It was 3 years after World War II ending. Humans had seen all that their destroying abilities could do, so they decided to set some ethical limits in order to avoid another massive genocide.
There are 30 human rights:
The one that shocked me the most was the last one maybe. I think that it's the most difficult one to generalize. Not all the world leaders (unluckily) consider that we all are equal in legal terms, so they don't obey the basic human rights. An example of a country that doesn't respect this rights is North Korea, where there are public executions everyday. Is that the model of country that the world needs in the 21st century? The answer for me is NO!
Thinking of a modern country which considers and respects this rights, the words "Sweden" or "Norway"come across my mind. This places have the most advance society of our times maybe, because what is legal gets over what you want. Furthermore, it's not just a society conception, it is in the education. They raise children with this values and rights, so they grow up as modern and educated people!
