| Popis: | The article examines the general theoretical characteristics of universal human rights. It is noted that human rights are an integral part of human dignity, they define the essence of humanity, and represent the limits of state power in relation to the individual. It is emphasised that today there is no single approach to substantiating the theory of human rights. The article emphasises that every person is endowed with universal, inalienable and inalienable rights, which are called human rights. It is established that the universality of human rights is clearly enshrined and recognised in numerous international legislative acts. The author emphasises that the universal nature of human rights and freedoms enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is beyond doubt. A number of approaches to the understanding of human rights are investigated. It is determined that the universality and full observance of human rights is an ongoing process that requires constant attention and global cooperation. It is noted that human rights are an integral part of human dignity; they are the fundamental principles which define the essence of humanity and apply to every individual. These rights are conditioned by the universal principles of justice and dignity, which must be protected and guaranteed by the State. The author establishes that universal rights are inalienable, since a person cannot be deprived of them without violating the basic principles of justice. These rights create the limits of state power, emphasising that the state must protect and respect the rights of every individual. In essence, human rights cover a wide range of aspects, such as the right to life, liberty and security of the person, freedom of thought and expression, the right to education, work and an adequate standard of living. These rights are the basis for the development of a just and humane society. It is noted that human rights are universal and inalienable in any cultural or geographical context. Ensuring their respect and observance is the responsibility of both the individual state and the international community. Violations of human rights not only violate the basic principles of justice, but can also lead to serious social and political consequences. |
