This book offers a multidimensional exploration of human rights, tracing their philosophical, legal, and historical roots from ancient civilizations and the Enlightenment to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and modern treaties. It critically examines the tensions between universality and cultural relativism, state sovereignty and global responsibility, while highlighting the indivisibility of civil, political, economic, social, cultural, and collective rights. More than a scholarly guide, it is a philosophical provocation that invites readers to reflect on justice, power, dignity, and humanity-urging them not to absorb facts but to confront vital questions about what it truly means to be human.
