”Human Rights in the ancient world", is the name of en article in Wikipedia. I wanted to know more about Human Rights and searched in the Wikipedia. Here comes the article:
Quotation: "Ur-Nammu, king of Ur in ca. 2050 BC created the Code of Ur-Nammu, the oldest legal codex that survives today. Several other sets of laws were created in Mesopotamia including the Code of Hammurabi (ca. 1780 BC), one of the best preserved examples of this type of document. It shows rules, and punishments if those rules are broken, on a variety of matters including women's rights, children's rights and slave rights.
The prefaces of these codes invoked the Mesopotamian gods for divine sanction. Societies have often derived the origins of human rights in religious documents. The Vedas, the Bible, the Qur'an and the Analects of Confucius are some of the oldest written sources that address questions of people's duties, rights, and responsibilities."
One can read a lot about human rights there. Some articletitles are: Human rights, Human rights sources, The United Nations, Europe, History of human rights, Human rights in the ancient world (copied above), Persian Empire, Maurya Empire, Early Islamic Caliphate, Human rights in early modern era, After world war II, International bodies, Regional legislation, Philosophy of human rights, Theory of value and property, Types, Justification of human rights, Criticism of human rights, Human rights violations, National human rights institutions, and links to about another 200 similar articles.
Human rights are basic for the foundation of the international direct it-democratic organization.
The representative democratic political culture and the media culture, has trade, commerce, economy and money as main subject in the world of today. They should have human rights instead. It is inhuman to don't do enough for materialistic equality and for our many starving and hard suffering brothers and sisters in the world.

Thanks for the many contributions in BIG LETTERS in a very short period of time Fred. Almost like getting SPAM, but we all know you mean well.

Intresting to hear your point of views in diffrent matters. Did you ever do meditation?

Human rights are of course the corner stone of AD, wich we cannot exist without.
I agree in that no other principle is more important.
Human rights are sadly being daily challenged even in civilized and "democratic" countries like Sweden.
The supervision socitey is approching even quicker than mr Orwell envisioned.
I'm truly bothered with this fact, which I also have written about here:

Only with a strong counter force against these dark forces, we can preserve any kind of human rights in the long term.
