Human rights are rights that are inherent to all human beings, irrespective of race, sex, nationality, ethnicity, language, religion or any other status. Human rights also include the right to life and liberty, freedom from slavery and torture, freedom of opinion and expression, the right to work and education, and many more, of which everyone is entitled to, without any form of discrimination. Furthermore, the International Human Rights Law also stipulates the obligations of Governments to act in certain ways and or to refrain from certain acts, in order to promote and protect human rights and fundamental freedoms of individuals or groups. A notable achievement of the United Nations is the creation of a comprehensive body of human rights law. The United Nations has defined a broad range of internationally accepted rights which include civil, cultural, economic, political and social rights, cum established mechanisms to promote and protect these rights and to assist states in carrying out their responsibilities. The foundations of this body of law are the Charter of the United Nations and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted by the General Assembly in 1945 and 1948, respectively. The United Nations since then has expanded human rights law to also include specific standards for women, children, persons with disabilities, minorities and other vulnerable groups, who now have rights that protect them from discrimination that has been long common in many societies and countries. The paper looks into human rights enterprise, the journey so far, challenges to human rights abuses, and what are the ways forward for global peace.
