1. What are "Universal Human Rights"? Everyone is born free with equal rights such as life, liberty, to own property, vote and to not be persecuted, and a fair trial. 2. Which Rights do you beleieve to be the most important? Why? that everyone is treated equally and that one is innocent until proven guilty. these support democratic ideals that stop the government from persecuting one specific group or person. 3. Which Rights surprised you? Why? the right to a nationality, privacy, and to move freely about the world. the right to a nationality confused me as to why it is a right, privacy is constantly ignored and there are several ways to limit movement through out the world. 4. Can you think of examples in the world today where these rights are being violated? Many African nations violate these rights because of genocides and other "ethnic cleansings" are the major offenders.
