The purpose of this project is to provide an effective and comprehensive overview of the concept of human rights. Toward this end, it is essential to accurately define this intellection by analyzing its development and progression from a historical perspective. Such an evaluation will serve as the core element of a most solid foundation that will enable this topic to be more intricately discussed. Also to be elaborated on are enabling, distant, and contemporary legal history and issues, the formation of human rights organizations and their current challenges, and potential corrective measures. The discussion of these subjects will allow for the rendering of intriguing, practical, and creative approaches and resolutions to the many uncertainties (actual and potential) faced by humanity.
