The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) recognizes 30 basic human rights that every person has at all times, regardless of their country or background. These include the right to life, liberty, and personal security; freedom from slavery and torture; freedom of opinion and expression; the right to work and education; and the right to marry and have a family, among others. The United Nations treaties agreed by the UK protect human rights internationally and can be grouped into two categories: civil and political rights, and economic, social, and cultural rights.
