My score in the quiz is 25/41, not bad ^^

1. What are human rights?

Human rights are the ones who EVERYONE has only because he or she's a human being.

2. Why were they created?

Because of the disasters of humanity: 2nd World War, Holocaust, and also the French revolution. The eternal question always has been (and is): how has to be something to be right?

3. How many human rights are there?

There are 30 human rights.

4. Which human right were you not familiar with? Mention an example where this human right is respected and where it is not respected.

The freedom of speech, I think it's a right that is really ignored and violated in many countries. For example, in Cuba, there's a hard repression and censure of so many and diferent ideas. But here in Spain and in all the world there are so many people that can express themselves, and become together to solve some problems with the power of union.
