| 释义 | human rights human rights legally enforceable rights to which people are entitled in virtue of their humanity rather than dependent on citizenship. A modern concept, at least under this name, human rights are legally significant in the UK and Europe because of the incorporation into UK law by the Scotland Act 1998 and the Human Rights Act 1998 (effective October 2000) of the EUROPEAN CONVENTION ON HUMAN RIGHTS, ratified by the members of the COUNCIL OF EUROPE. Equally important is the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted by the UNITED NATIONS General Assembly in 1948.Any provisions seeking to protect human rights usually focus on life, liberty and freedom of personality, freedom of thought and reli- gion. The right to work (and sometimes a right to social security) often appears. See also BILL OF RIGHTS. |
