1------‘Basic human rights’ is a term which refers to those

human rights that are generally considered most necessary or

essential to the wellbeing and dignity of the human person.

4 In concept, when basic human rights are guaranteed, they help

to assure the primary material and nonmaterial needs of human

beings, so that they can lead a dignified life. Because of this,

7 these rights are given absolute precedence in both national and

international law and policy.

There is no universally accepted list of these rights, as

10 they vary somewhat according to different cultural contexts.

However, they would include, for example, the right to life,

food, shelter, and medical treatment, freedom from torture, and

13 from cruel, degrading, and inhuman treatment and punishment,

freedom of religion, freedom of expression, and freedom from

slavery. All human rights are considered equal, interdependent,

16 interrelated, and indivisible in theory. Nevertheless, the term

‘basic human rights’ designates certain human rights that are

simply too basic not to be respected.
