The foundation of human rights according to Roman Catholic Church natural law in comparison with the UN Declaration of Human Rights and the African Charter

The principal objective of this research paper is to explore the foundation of human rights according to the Social Teachings of the Roman Catholic Church, the UN Declaration of human rights and the African Charter. However, the African Charter reflects the carbon copy of the UN Declaration and they both demonstrate that the origin of human rights is human dignity and the worth of the person.
