Human rights are rights that apply to every human, just because they are *human*.
This is in contrast to other rights that only apply to a specific group, such as extra rights for citizens of a country.
Of course, the concepts of human rights (or rights in general) is a human invention. So there is no objective list of what rights are human rights.
Though the most widely recognized list is the [UNs “Universal Declaration of Human Rights”](https://www.un.org/en/about-us/universal-declaration-of-human-rights).
As will all rights, they are only as good as they can be enforced. And enforcement varies drastically from “non-existent” to “pretty good”
