According to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, there are currently 30 Human Rights. They are basic freedoms belonging to the entire human race.
In other words, human rights belong to all people without distinction of sex, religion, ethnicity, skin color, preferences, origin or age, from the moment of their birth until their death.
These rights were written based on values such as equality, fairness, respect, independence and dignity. They are protected by law worldwide, since they were established in 1948 by the 56 members of the third General Assembly of the United Nations.
