They apply regardless of where you are from, what you believe or how you choose to live your life.

They can never be taken away, although they can sometimes be restricted – for example if a person breaks the law, or in the interests of national security.

These basic rights are based on shared values like dignity, fairness, equality, respect and independence. These values are defined and protected by law. In Britain our human rights are protected by the Human Rights Act 1998.

It was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in Paris on 10 December 1948.
Nearly every state in the world has accepted the Declaration. It provides a universal set of minimum standards for how people should be treated.

The Declaration has been adapted to apply to different parts of the world and has a direct link to our own human rights legislation. In Europe, the Declaration forms the basis of the European Convention on Human Rights. This Convention in turn was incorporated in UK law by the Human Rights Act 1998.

The Declaration’s influence lives on. It is relevant not just to societies experiencing conflict and repression, but also to peaceful democracies with the ongoing need to address injustice and insults to human dignity.
