Before Human Rights (Blain Osbiston & Emily Murphy)

Before Human Rights

·       Slavery

·       If you was in the right social group you was ok

·       Cyrus the great came in

·       After the battle of Babylon in 539 BC he announced all slaves were free to go

·       People could now choose their own religion and it wouldn’t matter

·       He then documented his words on a plate called there Cyrus cylinder

·       This was the start of human rights

·       This travelled across different country’s

·       People in power tried disagreeing to all this

·       Human rights were successful

·       They said it was things people naturally did

·       Human rights now was called natural rights back then

I will now talk about the battle of Babylon in them days compared to the wars now.

Babylon

This was how people use to fight in 539 bc, this war was fought by the Cyrus the great this was a quote from him:

I am Cyrus, king of the world, great king, legitimate king, king of Babylon, king of summer and Akkad, king of the four AMs (king of earth) son of Cambyses, great king, king of Anshan of a family (which) always(exercised) kingship (extract from the Cyrus Cylinder

The 2^nd World war was fought with bombs and guns even though there were solders on the ground this could have come to an end with just one nuclear bomb.

But that statement isn’t the right thing to do because it is a breach of human rights
