The United nations is an international organization Whose stated aims are facilitating co-operation in international law, international security, economic development, progress, human rights and achievement of world peace.The UN was founded in 1945 after world war 2 to replace the league of nations to stop war between countries and to provide a platform for dialogue. There are five permanent members of UN security council: China, France, Russian federation, the United Kingdom and United states of America the rest of the countries are all non-permanent.UN and its specialized agencies decide on substantive and administrative issues in regular throughout meetings held in the year.
The United Nations Declaration Of Human Rights actually has 30 articles.
I have chosed five articles which I am going to explain:
In article 1 its clearly stated that every human is born free that means no one is slave in this world and no one can boss anyone but there are lots of people in this world who are slaves and there are lots of children who are working as child labour instead of getting education which is against the rules.So we all should try to give them their rights which they don't have.
In article 3 it is written that all the people have right to life,security and liberty but in some countries there is no security for people for example in some countries people are not allowed to practice their religion and if they do they are killed which is against the rules.
In article 4 it says that no one should be treated like a slave and no one should be traded as slaves but in most of the countries poor people are treated like slaves from rich people but actually they all are same . In many countries class divide is a common thing they treat poor people like slaves and rich people like kings but apart from this there are many people who sale other people and trade them for money but a life can never be paid if you give all of the money you can but still a life can't be paid.
In article 13 it is stated that every person can leave their country whenever they want and no one has the right to stop them. They can leave their city in their country and can move to any other city in their country whenever they want but in most of the countries some people are not allowed to leave their home which exactly means same as no freedom . This means that someone else is bossing them and it is against the rules.
In article 16 it says that every men and women of all ages have the right to marry and towards a healthy family. In many countries the womens are forced to marry the men they don't want to they are forced to live the rest of their lives with the person whom they don't want to live with.Many of them are not willing to marry but they are pressured and forced to marry. According to the rules both the men and the women should be willing to marry each other if one is not than its his or her right not to marry.A family is a natural group unit of society and should be protected by the state and society.
In article 27 it's written that every person has the choice to rest whenever he wants and no one can make him work and every person has a limited time to work and no one can force him to work extra but in most of the countries it's a major problem that people are treated like slaves and are forced to work in return of less wages which is not enough for their family.Most of them work day and night and get no holidays which is against the law because everyone needs rest to stay healthy.

This is a fantastic article. It is really sad that many people in the world don't get to practise these rights.
