Human beings enter the world by gaining certain rights from birth simply because they are human beings. The concept of right is a universal concept. In short, rights can be defined as 'the authority granted to individuals by the rules of law'.
Human rights were first recognized in England in 1215. The American Bill of Rights and the French Universal Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen in 1789 were officially published at the end of the 18th century. With the establishment of the United Nations, human rights became universal. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights was published. According to this; it is stated that everyone is free, honorable and equal in terms of their rights.
It is possible to briefly define human rights as the innate equality and freedom of all human beings in every respect. This freedom is balanced with the obligation to respect the rights of others and not to violate these rights. There are various human rights. Patient rights are one of the basic human rights.
