Human rights are those rights which every individual in any society requires as a consequence of being human. The concept has become popular especially since the second World War, although its existence can be traced back in ancient Greek and Roman thoughts. This concept has in fact replaced the term “natural right”. The millennium development goals, human development and human rights together share a common motivation that includes freedom, equality, solidarity, tolerance, respect for nature and shared responsibility. Achieving these goals will enlarge human rights. Each goal is connected to economic, social and culture right counted in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948) and many other human rights instruments. Historically, human rights have been classified in terms of three generations, viz, (i) civil and political rights, (ii) economic social and culture rights, and (iii) solidarity rights.
