History of human rights may be traced back to the beginnings of humanity. Human rights as we know them now is the result of centuries of development. In spite of the term "Human Rights" seeming to have a contemporary appearance, human rights have been there for as long as humanity has been. Human rights have existed in some form or another ever since man first lived in groups, such as families, clans, tribes, towns, or nations, and they continue to exist now in the shape of an autonomous global community. 13 The idea of human rights is not unique to the West or even to the contemporary world, but rather the culmination of shared human principles that date back millennia.
