Abstract

Human rights are inherently involved with a human being regardless of race, color, nationality, language, religion, ethnic origin, or any other status. Human rights are applicable everywhere and at all times because of their universality and inalienability (Akbari 2019). The universality of human rights is recognized through the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) 1948. Article 1 of the UDHR recognized that “All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights” (UDHR 1948 art 1). This article indicates that there is no hierarchical order of human rights by their nature. All rights have equal status, and denial of one right invariably impedes enjoyment of other rights. Every state should give equal priority over all rights. For instance, the state cannot promote any right while ignoring the other rights. Every human right is considered equal and on the same footing.
