2021 Jul 23As most children are taught, there are certain human rights you are entitled to when you’re born. At the international level, the widely-invoked 1948 United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights meant that certain human rights would be defined and enacted by written laws and rules, and declared by a sovereign body. Put simply, inalienable rights are inherent to your dignity as a human being. Educating yourself on your inalienable rights, which are the entitlements of being human, can be an incredibly empowering process. It is important to remember that while your inalienable rights can be denied and violated, they can never be taken away.
