The basic idea of human rights is that each one of us, no matter who we are or where we are born, is entitled to the same basic rights and freedoms. That may sound straightforward enough, but it gets incredibly complicated as soon as anyone tries to put the idea into practice. What exactly are the basic human rights? Who gets to pick them? Who enforces them-and how? Benedetta Berti explores the subtleties of human rights.

"food" is a product, which represents the labor of others. You do not have a right on other people's labor.
@@gaussminigun this argument of yours is very nuanced. Roads are built from the taxpayers and the infrastructure budget, yet indigenous peoples can still use the said roads.
Why make it different for food? A physiological need? The government can subsidise this. Give tax breaks and incentives to companies and businesses to manufacture foods for the government to distribute.

The biggest barrier to human rights is not dictatorships and the groups that persecute others; but those who blindly make excuses for human rights abuses whether through nationalism or ignorance.

I think the biggest barrier to human rights is dictatorships and groups that persecute others because, without dictatorships and groups that persecute others, there would be no excuses for human rights abuses because there would be no abuses in the first place.

Miggs_SK- Science lover Migration is a human right, it's described under the Right of Movement. Of course it's up to the individual country, and one country can't take them all, but it's good in principle to work for a reality where everyone has an escape route.

In the era of digitalization, law needs to be adapted to protect and safeguard fundamental rights. One can see that digital rights can be closely linked to freedom of expression and privacy. Therefore in my opinion an individual should have the right to access the internet to avoid digital divide. Additionally, an individual should have control over who stores their personal data etc,; the right to privacy.
@i'm the king I believe Religion is not the basis or source from which morals stem from, but rather, the other way around. I believe that morals are the basis from which religion stems from. Without morals, religion will be worthless and meaningless, and there will be no longer any need to follow them. But in spite of popular belief, morals exist beyond the scope and boundaries of religion. After all, morals are inherent to human relationships, and without morals, there will be no meaningful relationships between people. Morals form the basis for social interaction and bonding between humans. And the inverse is true. Without human relationships, there will be no need for morals, and any morals that we implement will be futile and meaningless. Therefore, I believe the source of morals is the human desire to form relationships with other humans and bring meaning to those interactions.
there is no "right" to privacy of data once you give your data into the care of others. You are delusional.

The problem is too many people are shameless liars that pretend humans all agree on what a human right should be. The term "human rights" is being manipulated around the world for nationalist, political and ethnic causes.. The first thing we need to do is narrow down the definition of human rights to something that is agreed upon in practice not just virtue signalling

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, signed in Paris on December 10, 1948, establishes, for the first time, fundamental human rights, enshrined in 30 articles, where they acquire the importance of universal by promoting social progress, equality, justice and the freedom of friendly relations between nations.
what is a human right?
How was it the first time??
This is so true I love this video and how it defines human rights so easily
Human rights is the greatest lie people tell. You have as much human rights as a government lets you have.
So a county can commit genocide on their citizens and it would be okay?
your idea is not new, it's called positive law or legal positivism.
@@benkaufman4159 that's not what he is saying
@@eshansalimi7246 its unfair, but why do I necessarily have a right to being treated fairly?
@@benkaufman4159 genocide is ok from the perspective of the perpetrators and those who stand to benefit from it. It is obviously not ok from the perspective of the victims. For example, Americans glorify Columbus, Washington and Jackson, who played huge roles in killing or dispossessing Native Americans of their lands. These figures are glorified because their genocidal actions helped make America and its white settlers prosperous. Therefore, from the perspective of Americans, the genocide of Native Americans is a blessing

I believe in universal human rights and I loved this video. Hopefully, in the future, more countries will accept this idea, and that more people will live peacefully irrespective of personal differences.
You need to read more and not just take what you hear for granted. Universal human rights are an outdated idea, held up by literal globalists.
Human rights are imaginary, not part of your genes. Just like you don't have a soul, you don't have any rights, either. There is no magical forcefield of "rights" protecting you and your rights from being violated. Not by nature, not by people. You have to do that yourself, or enter into a collective nation with other people, who can protect you and the things you value to be a "right". And when you do one day sit down and try coming up with original ideas, what you think the rights should be in your nation, you will find they are not universal. You will even find that some rights conflict with each other, and that you have to prioritize between them. Good luck on your journey. Hope I dispelled some myths.
@@Google_Censored_Commenter There's an ideologist, and there's a realist. Human rights are an ideal. An ideal of a better world, one that we respect each other. Although your point might be more realistic, it's the ideal we're talking about here.
@@aiosquadron k, it's an ideal I disagree with then. I'm not an idealist. Now what?
@@Google_Censored_Commenter Then it's what you decided. You're not an idealist. It's OK. Not everyone is supposed to be an idealist, and I respect that.
@@aiosquadron Kinda puts wrench in the 'universal' part of universal human rights if a group of people can choose not believe in them and therefore aren't willing to enforce them.
Is there a poster available from this animation? I like the way the rights are presented in squares with some illustrations.
this is one of the best videos so far, i really enjoy TED-Ed it informs me and gives me small slises of life that i do enjoy so much.
over all this is a grate chanel.
Then we have to figure out just how "universal" all our universal rights are. Do they apply to children? Babies? Animals? Criminals? The mentally incompetent? Sentient robots? And if you have a "right" to not be denied something like education, does this mean that the education system doesn't have the right to charge for their services? Which right outweighs the other?
***** In Disctric 9 all aliens were kept in getto like Jews were.

+Shawn Ravenfire or is it also apply to the most closed human civilization like in wild tribe?
+asdfers A criminal doesn't have the right to freedom of movement. And yet a criminal is 100% human. Should we set all criminals free? Is the right to freedom of movement a "phony" right?
Or is it merely not universal and inalienable like people want to pretend?
+asdfers Interesting, so let's take your right to keep intruders off your property. Is it universal and inalienable?
If cops show up at your house and claim they have a report that you stockpile drugs, dangerous animals and weapons of mass destruction on your property, and they have a warrant to search the house, do you have a universal and inalienable right to keep these intruders off your property?
Is their right to enter your house and search it to keep others safe a "phony" right?
Or is your "keep intruders off" right not universal and inalienable like you want to pretend?
+Shawn Ravenfire looks like we need aliens to judge whether we even have the appropriate basic human rights and compare ours to them and see how we could improve ours or mutually

And if there’s anything to take away from this …it’s the reminder life is very fragile. Our time here is limited and it is precious. And what matters at the end of the day is not the small things, it’s not the trivial things, which so often consume us and our daily lives. Ultimately, it’s how we choose to treat one another and how we love one another.
It’s what we do on a daily basis to give our lives meaning and to give our lives purpose. That’s what matters. At the end of the day, what we’ll remember will be those we loved and what we did for others. That’s why we’re here.)) - President Obama 🔥 🔥

The only individual rights a person has are any rights they themselves can enforce. If an individual can't enforce a given right by themselves and needs someone else, or some group, to enforce that right, it is no longer a right and is a privilege bestowed by that enforcement group. The pitch of universal human rights, is a pitch for a universal one world government. A government that can give you everything you want is a government that can take everything from you. If you want to truly give people rights, you must give them individually the power to enforce those rights themselves. This is why the 2nd amendment of the constitution in the United States of America is so debated and such a hot topic. On one hand people need arms to enforce their rights from criminal individuals and criminal governments, but on the other hand everyone having arms now has the power to end some one else right to life. Honestly, I personally think the idea of rights is just that, an idea, and in practice, in the real world, is nothing but legal fiction.

You have a right to life, the things that you produce, your skills, and what was freely given to you.
There is a trap in your statement. Someone cannot afford healthcare for a treatable illness, but they will die without treatment. Is letting them die due to a lack of money a right to life violation? Does right to life mean that your life should be saved? Does it just mean no-one can kill you without legal penalties? That previous statement has another trap; by denying healthcare for aforementioned illness, you are killing them indirectly, does not killing without legal penalties mean affordable healthcare, as denying healthcare can cause indirect death? Your last item, what should be freely given? Should we let people be stuck in a poverty pit because they cannot get quality education? Vague human rights produce a loaded question.
the last statement is the question I have been trying to solve currently. God, it is a very informative video! impressive
This is the best video I have ever seen
Thank you!
I used to think i had seen all Ted ed videos! This is amazing💜
It is really disappointing to find out how so many people find themselves in positions of influence and use their power in an unfair and abusive way. Personally I don't think anyone should be in any position where they can get away with ignoring or blocking someone else's basic rights- whether it be a parent, a teacher, a local politician, a top-ranking government employee, etc. There are plenty of dysfunctions that are propagated by such forms of undue discrimination.
Well said.

What an informative compilation of content. A book on the same topic was equally enlightening for me. "Galaxies United" by Olivia Whitestone
Culture and education is more important than most people would think. In most Western nations, human rights seem obvious and "objective". But that's only because the concept of human rights mostly developed in the West. So in most other nations, even if they seem "developed" (like in Asia), they have little to no concept of human rights, due to lack of education about human rights, as well as lack of historical cultural context of having human rights.
Why is the definition of human rights from "western" nations the correct one?
Majin Brock Blanco 0,000001 por ciento what is the non western definition of human rights? Oh yeah that’s right, there isn’t one because they don’t have a concept of human rights.
UN: does nothing about atrocities in Sri Lanka and turns a blind eye, pulls all the stops because someone was criticised on the internet.
Every person has the right to life liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Democracy is detrimental to that, as is privacy and free access to information.
“If I have to remind you one more time I’m going to call home” -my teacher
When it comes to "Human Rights" I think of them as something that can be applied to the earliest humans. You have the right to speak and live in freedom, to defend yourself, practice your religious beliefs. You don't have the right to harm or restrict other's freedoms; you relinquish your rights when you trample another's.
When people like to say housing or healthcare is a human right, that's where I start having issues. Yes, you have the right to build or buy housing for yourself, but you don't have the right to enforce someone to provide goods or services to you. Digital rights get a little murky with my ideal outlines of human rights, but I believe everyone has the right to privacy. However privacy is interpreted is up to the law makers but we should all agree that doxing of any kind should be illegal.
Very well explained.

1:45 I don't really understand how does it work "freedom of movement" for countries that have prisons. Can anyone tell me please?
You are thrown in prison when you have commited a felony, thereby making you a felon. Felons have some rights, but not all of them. I don't agree with that, but hey, it's the answer to your question
This right doesn't really apply to those who have committed an inhuman (federal) crime. They ought to specify that.
@@firebow2810 Though does that not defeat the universality of said rights?
@@redchan2571 rights can be denied to people if there's a valid reason. One of those reasons is when someone can be a danger to the community and needs rehabilitation. There are exceptions for everything in the world
@@firebow2810 that is quite a dangerous stand to take if someone believes that such values are important though, governments in many countries has use the threat to their national security to deny some people human rights whether justified or not. More importantly is the fact that there are no international standards on what is "a threat" and should be locked up, thus theoretically this line of reasoning can apply to almost any action.
I have heard the human rights laws thousands of time , but this has only become a humanitarian and repetitive slogan! ❤️🙏🏻⭐️💯✌🏼🦅
i coppyed the info for a project its amazing
So how exactly is there a general bias in UDHR to favor civil political liberties over social political rights. Aren't they both the same thing?
Rather than ask what universal human rights should cover, it should first be questioned whether or not such things as rights actually exist, or whether we merely hold licences.
For a right to be a right, it must be intrinsic and inalienable, yet when we talk about existing 'rights', all can, in certain circumstances, be alienated; for example, the right to life: certain States can end your life if you commit a certain offence, or your life may legitimately be taken from you by another private individual if acting in self-defence.
As such, is it truly possible to argue that we all have a set of universal human rights, or do we instead only have a set of licences to life, free-speech, movement etc, that can be revoked in certain situations?

I'm not sure what that means.
The point is that I don't understand you? What's the point in that?
Clint Not sure I agree or fully understand what you're trying to say but a tyrant is a bad man in the eyes of the oppressed and any decent human being with a moral compass. I don't think you needed to blather on with nonsense.
You speak of morality, but how can one prove there are any moral truths at all? Demonstrate one. Let me see it with my eyes. Of course you think this is but "blathering nonsense." Morals are not to be seen or touched, but intuited through the "mind," or to put it less euphemistically, through the spirit! Morals are themselves spirits. And like all spiritual things they are figments of the imagination - lies, falsehoods, spooks. All morals were invented by particular people and groups to procure their own power. One who's power is secure need not be a "decent human being." Why should he? For fear of going to hell? There's no such thing. For fear of karma? Again, another lie. For fear of conscience? Only if he's possessed by one.
Many "freethinkers" renounce a moral or two, but with great difficulty the conception “morality.” Morality is the “idea” of morals, their intellectual power, their power over the conscience; on the other hand, specific morals are too material to rule the mind, and do not fetter an “intellectual” man, a so-called “freethinker.” How easily they overcome "the sins of the flesh" and "the duty to one's nation." But morality in general rules many of these so-called "atheists"; for it, much like the Nation and the Truth, has been set upon the throne of the dead god.
He who has power has "right."
If you've followed me this far you might now say, "Wait! The morality I espoused, the rights I stood for, they were my means of acquiring power. Even more, they WERE my power! Yet you seek to take these from me." I do, if your empowerment is incompatible with my own, which is the case with those who's interests are secured through humanism and nationalism alike. Further, there exist no moralities which may procure power for myself and those close to me. The left wing manicheisms of today are at best under-powered weapons against the most virulent threats to my interest.
Clint morality is where we leave our caves, become neighbours and farm the land. Is where a community, rather than a tribe, is built. It changes as our communities change. It serves us, we do not serve morality, but we can make excuses adressing morality. Morality was before the Law, and it is possibly stronger. You can look up the play "Antigone" by Sophocles.
The right correctly is a different thing; it is power.
The interest is not a right, but the will behind the acquisition and exercise of a right.
Practically, there are many different ways of getting your right exercised, depending on your status in your community.
Thanks for just putting up with me. Just my thoughts.
Biggest advice we need to learn about human rights that can effect is good for are society!!
Very informative, I feel that in order to globally increase the weight of the Human Rights Act of 1998, we would need to deviate away from declarations and move towards conventions.
