Human rights refers to universal rights of human being regardless of jurisdiction or other factors, such as ethnicity, nationality, religion, or sex. The idea of human rights descended from the philosophical idea of natural rights; some recognize no difference between the two and regard both as labels for the same thing while others choose to keep the terms separate to eliminate association with some features traditionally associated with natural rights. The text is designed to both serve as a self-contained introduction to the human rights and to complement other course materials by providing the reader with a concise overview of human rights norms they evolve. The text has grown significantly in size, however, to take account many new developments in the field.
