What is a Human Right?Human rights are rights inherent to all human beings, whatever our nationality, place of residence, sex, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, language, or any other status. We are all equally entitled to our human rights without discrimination. Universal human rights are often expressed and guaranteed by law, in the forms of treaties, customary international law , general principles and other sources of international law.International human rights law lays down obligations of Governments to act in certain ways or to refrain from certain acts, in order to promote and protect human rights and fundamental freedoms of individuals or groups
Meaning of Human Rights• Human Beings are rational beings. They by virtue of their being human
possess certain basic and inalienable rights which are commonly known as human rights.
• Human Rights are defined as all those rights which are essential for the protection and maintenance of dignity of individuals and create conditions in which every human being can develop his personality to the fullest extent may be termed as human rights.
• Human rights become operative with the birth of an individual. Human rights, being the birth right, are inherent in all the individuals irrespective of their caste, religion, sex and nationality.
• Because of their immense significance to human beings ; human rights are also sometimes referred to as fundamental rights, basic rights, inherent rights, natural rights and birth rights.
• The World conference On Human Rights held in 1993 in Vienna stated in the Declaration that all human rights derive from the dignity and worth inherent in the human person , and that the human person is the central subject of human rights and fundamental rights.

MODERN HUMAN RIGHTS • Human rights is one of such rights which has been conferred to individuals by
the states in the modern International Law.• The modern perspective to human rights is
reflected in the Vienna Declaration adopted by the World conference on Human rights in June 1993. The declaration categorically states that all human rights are universal, indivisible and interdependent and inter-related and that democracy, development and respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms are interdependent and mutually reinforcing. The conference reaffirmed the right to development as a universal inalienable right and an integral part of the fundamental human rights.
• The legal process in the universality of human rights effectively commenced with the universal declaration of human rights 1948 (UDHR).
• Adoption of the UN charter in the aftermath of the Second World War can rightly be considered as a landmark in the journey towards universal acceptance of human rights.
• Through a long process of evolution , modern human rights jurisprudence has crystallized into three basic principles:-The principle of universal inherence: Every human being has certain rights, capable of being enumerated and defined which are not conferred on him by any ruler, nor earned or acquired by purchase, but which inhere in him by virtue of his humanity alone. -The principle of inalienability: no human being can
be deprived of any of those rights by the acts of any ruler or even by his own act or in a democracy even by the will of the majority of the sovereign people. -The rule of Law : Where rights conflict with each other, the conflicts must be resolved by the consistent, independent and impartial application of just laws in accordance with just procedures.
Italy and Human RightsIncreasing numbers of people, including Syrians and Afghans, apply for asylum in Italy amid concerns about substandard conditions in reception and emergency shelters. The government has created more spaces in shelters, reduced maximum immigration detention from 18 to 3 months and decriminalized undocumented entry. The European Court of Human Rights ordered Italy to compensate a victim of police brutality during the 2001 G8 summit in Genoa and to create the offense of torture in national law. Episodes of xenophobic violence occur, some targeting Roma who endure evictions from informal camps, segregation, and discrimination.
