3 The idea of human rights is the belief that everyone should have certain rights. They are entitled to these rights just because they are human. The idea is not a new one. It has been developing since the beginning of man's history. A strong commitment to human rights is considered a good measure of a country's potential for being a good neighbor and contributing to world peace. The use of threats and violence is an indication that a government cannot be trusted and may be a threat to world peace. In 1948 the United Nations adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
