The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is a charter of civil and political rights drawn by the UN in 1948. The European Convention of Human Rights dates back to 1950. Under the Convention the European Commission of Human Rights was established with the headquarters in Strasburg, France. This Commission investigates complaints of state or individuals.

Civil rights are those rights, which are protected constitutionally as fundamental rights that everyone should enjoy. They fall into two categories: basic human rights and political rights. The political rights include the right to freedom of speech, to form and join a trade union, to protest in public against government policy. These rights are vital for any healthy and liberal society. Everyone has rights including you.
