What is human rights and who has the power or right to define them?
Human rights and legal rights are not exactly the same. There is a difference which depends on who you are asking.
At first examination a comparison might sound good.
"In simplest terms, the difference between a human and civil right is why you have them. Human rights arise simply by being a human being. Civil rights, on the other hand, arise only by virtue of a legal grant of that right, such as the rights imparted on American citizens by the U.S. Constitution."
So who defined Human rights?
"Human rights are distinct from civil liberties, which are freedoms established by the law of a particular state and applied by that state in its own jurisdiction. Human rights laws have been defined by international conventions, by treaties, and by organizations, particularly the United Nations."
Natural rights, which are supposed to come from God and defined by Natural Law, are not the same as human rights. "Although both natural rights and human rights are universal, there are fundamental differences between the two. First of all, natural inalienable rights do not come from government. Governments only secure these rights—that is, they create the political conditions that allow one to exercise them."
