Human rights refer to the "basic rights and freedoms to which all humans are entitled." Examples of rights and freedoms which have come to be commonly thought of as human rights include civil and political rights, such as the right to life and liberty, freedom of expression, and equality before the law; and economic, social and cultural rights, including the right to participate in culture, the right to food, the right to work, and the right to education.

“ All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood. ”

—Article 1 of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR)

Q. this might be a dumb question but I want to know if international human rights lawyers (particularly those with a focus on women's legal rights in other countries) are employed by the United Nations at all? like maybe under the CSW or UN center of human rights?

What is a country that has suffered due to lack of human rights?
Q. Welll... I need to write about when lack of human rights can cause a country to have economic disadvantage, poverty, bad health and sanitation, or political stability. i looked at north korea and a few others... but although they have lack of human rights, and have had famines which have killed hundreds of thousands of people etc... they aren't exactly directly related to lack of human rights.
