Rights that can’t be taken away are called Unalienable rights. In the book Night, by Eli Wiesel, most of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, UDHR, was abused.
These human rights 'instruments', as they are called, have fixed how many rights apply to particular groups of human beings such as women or children.

The link between human rights and other pillars is clearly evident all the way through the UDHR.

However, these rights can’t be actualized for everyone on the planet, both before and after the UDHR was written.

Oppenheim defined International law as the name for the body of customary and conventional rules which are considered binding by civilised states in their intercourse with each other. In Sir Cecil Hurst’s view, International Law is the aggregate of rules which determines the rights which one state is entitled to claim on behalf of itself, or its nationals against another state.

According to article 1 of the international covenant on economic, social and cultural rights “All peoples have the rights of self determination. By virtue of that they freely determine their political status and freely pursue their economic, social and cultural development” (Human rights history). Therefore people should be allowed the freedom to economic, social and cultural developments. Initially the UDHR of 1948 had not distinctions to rights and most importantly did not assign higher importance to certain rights (Human rights history). There was however distinction in the later years, “By the early 1950s, Cold War politics and doctrinal differences led UN deliberative bodies to distinguish between civil and political rights, on one hand, and economic, social, and cultural rights on the other” (Human rights history).
After World War II which ended in 1945, many nations realized that they had to prioritise the protection of human rights in order to avoid history from repeating itself (again).

This Declaration was the point of departure for the European Convention on Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (hereafter the ECHR) as its drafting was followed soon after by the newly formed Council of Europe in 1950. However, it was only ratified in 1953 under the enforcement of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) in Strasbourg. Contents of the ECHR consists of main rights and freedoms in the form of articles, rules of operation

On the 24th of October 1945, the United Nations officially came into existence. On that day, representatives of 50 countries met in San Francisco at a United Nations Conference on International Organization to draw up and sign the United Nations Charter (UN, History of the United Nations). The United Nations Charter is a document that states what the United Nations is. In Chapter 1, “PURPOSES AND PRINCIPLES Article 1” one of the points states that a purpose of the UN is to keep international unity and to remove anything that threatens peace (Nations, 1945). Even though at first international laws may seem to only include human rights, they are much more complex and they affect us in many different ways.
