Almost all of the basic human rights listed in international agreements should be enforced by your government, or by government officials. Human rights protect your interests from government infringement, so you must demand them from the government or its representatives. If you believe your rights are being violated by, for example, your employer or neighbor, you cannot directly invoke international human rights laws unless your government has been obligated to take steps to prevent such actions by employers or neighbors.
Who do I claim my rights from?
