Human right are basic rights and freedoms to which all humans are entitled.

They started the 10th of December of 1948.

- Is it fully respected in your country today? Justify with news, comments, studies on the subject (cite the links of your information sources).
This human right is actually not respected at all in our country 'cause there're still many kidnappings. We can see it many days in the news:

On the other hand, most of detentions are previously determined by a judge or the police. Moreover, disccovered kidnappers are definitly jailed.

- Do you know if it has been respected in the past? Why or why not? Thi human right was not respected in the pass. There were many people who had to exile to other countries because they where persecuted. In the whole history and still nowadays there's been many people who have arrested agaist their whishes and treated as inferiors.

-Where in the world is this right not complied with? In most underdeveloped coutries this human rright is to complied.
