Human rights are basic rights and freedoms that belong to every person in the world, from birth until death[2][6]. They are inherent to us all, regardless of nationality, sex, national or ethnic origin, color, religion, language, or any other status[1]. Human rights are inalienable, meaning they cannot be taken away, except in specific situations and according to due process[1]. For example, the right to liberty may be restricted if a person is found guilty of a crime by a court of law[1]. However, human rights can sometimes be restricted, such as in the interests of national security or if a person breaks the law[2]. These basic rights are based on shared values like dignity, fairness, equality, respect, and independence, and are defined and protected by law[2]. In Britain, human rights are protected by the Human Rights Act 1998[2].
