All Human individuals are equal in dignity and rights. The fulfilment of duties by each individual is a prerequisite to the rights of all. Rights and duties are interrelated in every social and political activity of individuals. While rights exalt individual liberty, duties express the dignity of that liberty. International human rights law has been dynamically developed since the proclamation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The number of states parties to human rights is constantly growing in order to safeguard the rights of individuals. The international community is continuing to give the most effective service to the cause of human rights through out the world. Knowledge of human rights is necessary either to enjoy rights or to perform duties. In order to facilitate the persons and personnel with human rights information, this comprehensive encyclopaedia on human rights has been developed. This encyclopaedia will meet the requirements of every one involved in human rights activities.
