Abstract :Human rights must be recognised as the first basic human concern. The primary basis of today’s activities at the United Nations and its member Governments is to promote, protect and monitor human rights and the fundamental freedoms that derived from the International Bill of Human Rights, which has developed successively through the years. The Bill comprises three documents: a the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted in 1948; b the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, promulgated in 1966; and c the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, launched during the same year.Keywords : TRILOGY, BASIC HUMAN, CONCERNS
