Human Rights and social consensus.

The understanding and lists of human rights that we have were created through international consensus. For Jack Donnelly, the foundation of human rights is a specific consensus, a specific agreement, a specific document: The universal declaration of HR’s (UDHR) in 1948, which was drafted and written by eighteen (18) individuals from different countries, and then signed and agreed upon by almost all the other countries as they were motivated by a specific situation _ context they influenced by World War 2 in general.
When you say that human rights based on social consensus, you say that: A group of people who seen as having legitimacy or authority on behalf of their communities came together to agreed that in our situation now – these are the rights that everyone needs to have which means that as the situation changes; those rights may change .
I think there is no other way that human rights would make sense if they don’t change according to the context.
