John Locke stated that human rights are the rights that are given directly by God the Creator as a natural right. (Mansour Effendi, 1994).
In Article 1 of Law Number 39 Year 1999 on Human Rights stated that "human rights are a set of rights attached to nature and human existence as a creature of the Almighty God and is His grace that must be respected, upheld and protected by the state , law, government and every person, for the respect and protection of human dignity ".

Human rights need not be given, purchased or inherited. Human rights are part of human automatically.
Human rights apply to all people without regard to sex, race, religion, ethnicity, political opinion or social origin and nation.
Human rights can not be violated. No one has the right to restrict or violate the rights of others. People still have rights even if a state makes laws that do not protect or violate human rights (Mansour Fakih, 2003).
2.1.3 Development of Human Thought
Divided into 4 generations, namely:
1. The first generation of human rights argue that the thought of just centered in the field of law and politics. The focus of the first generation of human rights thinking in the field of law and politics and the situation caused by the impact of World War II, totalitarianism and the desire of countries newly independent legal order to create something new. [1]
2. The second generation of human rights ideas are not only demanding the rights juridical
rights but also social, economic, political and cultural. So the thought of a second-generation human rights shows the expansion of understanding of the concept and scope of human rights. At the time of the second generation, less legal right to be stressed that there is an imbalance with the socio-cultural rights, economic rights and political rights.
3. The third generation of human rights thinking in reaction to the second generation. The third generation of promising the unity between the economic, social, cultural, political and legal in a basket called to carry out the development rights. In practice the ideas of the third generation of human rights is also an imbalance where there is an emphasis on economic rights in terms of economic development
a top priority, while other rights neglected, causing many casualties, because a lot of other people's rights are violated.
4. The fourth generation who criticize the state's dominant role in the development process that focuses on economic development and the negative impact such waiver aspect of people's welfare. Besides development program that is run not by the needs of the people as a whole but rather to meet the needs of an elite group. The fourth generation of human rights ideas pioneered by countries in the region which in 1983 gave birth to the declaration of human rights which is called the Declaration of the Basic Duties of Asian People and Government
2.1.4 The purpose of human rights
HAM is very simple goal is to always be aware of, respect and uphold human rights and the dignity of the human person in order to create justice and peace throughout the world, especially for members who therein. [2]

The development of human thought in the world stems from:
Magna Charta
In general, the experts in Europe believe that the birth of human rights in Europe began with the birth magna Charta, which contains the view that the king had had absolute power (the king who created the law, but he himself is not bound by the laws he made), a limited power and begin to be held accountable before the law (Mansour Effendi, 1994).
The American declaration
Further human development is characterized by the emergence of the American Declaration of Independence were born to understand Rousseau danMontesquuieu. Begin affirmed that man is free from his mother in the stomach, so it is not logical that after birth should be shackled.
The French declaration
Subsequently, in 1789 was born The French Declaration (Declaration France), where provisions are specified rights as stated in the Rule of Law which, among others, reads there should be no arrests without a legitimate reason. In that regard applies prinsippresumption of innocent, it means the people who were arrested, then detained and accused, the right to found not guilty, until there is a decision which is final and binding court stating he was guilty.
The four freedom
There are four rights of freedom of speech and expression, the right to freedom
religion and worship according to the teachings of the need for religion, the right to freedom from poverty in the definition of each nation trying to reach the level of a peaceful and prosperous life for its residents, the right to freedom from fear, which includes businesses, reduction of armaments, so that none of the nation's desire to be in a position to carry out an attack against another country (Mansour
Effendi, 1994).

2.3 Overview of Human Rights in Islam
The existence of the doctrine of human rights in Islam shows that Islam as
religions have placed man as honorable and noble creatures. By
Therefore, protection and respect for the human being is a demand
doctrine itself that must be carried out by his people in his neighbor
without exception. The rights given by God it is permanent, eternal and
eternal, should not be altered or modified (Abu A'la Almaududi, 1998). In
Islam there are two concepts of rights, namely the right man (insan al rights) and rights
God. Any rights that underpin each other mutually. God underlies human rights
and also vice versa. In its application, none of the rights that regardless of
second right, such as prayer.
While in the case of al beings as property rights, every human being has the right to manage its assets. [4]
Islamic concept of human life is based on the approach
theocentric (theocentries) or who puts God through the provision of Sharia
as a measure of good bad good order of human life as
masyarakjat individuals and as citizens or citizens of the nation. Thus
Islamic concept of human rights based on the teachings of monotheism. The concept of monotheism containing
idea of equality and brotherhood of man. The concept of Tawheed also includes the idea of equality and unity of all beings by Harun Nasution and Bahtiar
Effendi called p idea. Islam came inherently carry
the doctrine of human rights, Islamic teachings about human rights can be found in the main source
the teachings of Islam, al-Qur'an and al-Hadith are a source of normative doctrine,
There are also practical life of Muslims.
Judging from the level, there are three forms of human rights in Islam, first, Darury Rights (basic rights). Things considered basic rights if those rights are violated, not only makes people miserable, but also existence even lost dignity
humanity. For example, if the right to life is violated then it means the person is dead.
Second, secondary rights (hajy) ie when rights are not met will result
loss of rights elementary example, a person's right to obtain clothing
adequate food will result in the loss of the right to life. Third rights tertiary (tahsiny) the right to lower the level of primary and secondary rights (Masdar F. Mas'udi, 2002).
On Human Rights relating to the rights of citizens, Al Maududi explains that in Islam human rights first and foremost citizens are:
Protect life, property and dignity they together - with the assurance that it is not our right to interfere, except with legitimate reasons and illegal.
Protection of personal freedom. Personal liberty is inviolable than following a legally convincing evidence and provide an opportunity for the accused to present a defense.
Independence of expression and faith adheres respectively
Guarantee the fulfillment of basic needs for all citizens without distinction of caste or creed. One of the obligations of zakat to Muslims, one of them to meet the basic needs of citizens.
2.4 Human Rights in National Legislation
In RI legislation there are at least a written legal form
which contains rules about human rights. First, the Constitution (Constitution). Second,
Under the provisions of MPR (MPR). Third, the Act. Fourth, in
regulations implementing legislation such as government regulations, decisions
president and other regulations.
Excess regulation of human rights in the constitution that guarantees
very strong because of the changes and or removal of a clause in the constitution
as in administration in Indonesia experienced a very heavy process and
Long, among others, through amendments and referendum, while weakness
as set out in the constitution still contains only global rules as constitutional provisions on human rights in Indonesia are still global. While
that when human rights arrangements in the form of the Act and its implementing regulations weakness, the possibility of frequent changes.
2.5 Violations of Human Rights and the Human Rights Court
Human rights violations are all actions by individuals or groups of people
including the state apparatus either intentional or unintentional, that
legally reduce, impede, restrict or revoke human rights and

and not the state apparatus (Law no. 26/2000 on Human Rights court). Because
The prosecution of human rights violations should not be directed only to
state apparatus, but also violations committed not by the state apparatus.
