Original language:

Human Rights are those freedoms intrinsic to our nature as human beings. They are not defined by courts; although courts may protect them. They are not legislated by elected bodies; although elected bodies may choose to codify them and so instruct the courts. They are not voted upon, debated, or subject to an either/or choice. They can and have been subject to interruption, abandonment and perversion; however those are acts performed by men against men – they do not touch the intrinsic truthful nature of Human Rights. As the American television journalist Rachel Maddow said: But here’s the thing about rights. They’re not actually supposed to be voted on. That’s why they’re called rights.For Freedom: A Human Rights Reader 1948-2015 takes its starting point as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights that was shepherded through the United Nations by Eleanor Roosevelt.
