<p><em>Human rights apply to everyone, regardless of colour, gender, nationality, ethnicity, language, religion, or other status. Human rights include the right to life and liberty, freedom from slavery and torture, </em><em>freedom of thought and expression, the right to work and education, and many more rights. Everyone, regardless of race or gender, has access to these rights. The governing concepts of this collection of laws are the United Nations Charter and the Universal</em><em> Declaration of Human Rights, both of which were adopted by the General Assembly in 1945 and 1948, respectively. Since then, the United Nations has gradually broadened human rights law to include particular requirements for women, children, persons with di</em><em>sabilities, minorities, and other vulnerable groups, all of whom now have rights that are protected under international law.</em><em></em></p>Sunaina Priyanka MinzA.
