All you need to know about human rights
The knowledge on human rights is a branch situated someplace between philosophy, ethics in particular, many branches of law, and political sciences. It emerged in its modern shape after World War II but its roots can be sought in ancient times, the Middle Ages, and especially in the thought of Enlightenment. Human rights were neither studied nor taught in the communist world: the name itself, however, supplemented with the adjective “socialist”, could be heard in the 1970s and 1980s, intentionally obliterating and dimming the forceful ideas coming from the West which were called “bourgeois human rights” within the bloc.
The article defines human rights, describes their scope and interdisciplinary character, combining philosophy, ethics, various branches of law and political science.
