ALL HUMAN BEINGS ARE BORN FREE AND EQUAL IN DIGNITY AND RIGHTS.
Universal Declaration of Human Rights

Human rights are inherent in all human beings, whatever their nationality, place of residence, sex, national or ethnic origin, color, religion, language, or any other status.
Every individual is entitled to enjoy human rights without discrimination. These rights are all interrelated, interdependent, and indivisible.
