answer and explation

.In the book Human Rights Law (2017) by Widiada Gunakaya, Britain is often mentioned as the first country in the world to fight for human rights.

The first milestone for the victory of human rights occurred in the UK can be verified through various state documents that have been successfully compiled and ratified.

These documents are:

Magna Carta

At the beginning of the 12th century, King Richard, who was known to be just and wise, was replaced by King John Lackland who acted arbitrarily against the people and nobles.

The Magna Carta document was issued on June 15, 1215 which basically stated that the limitation of the power of the king and human rights were more important than the sovereignty of the king.

No citizen can be deprived of their rights, such as being detained or deprived of their assets or exiled in any way except based on legal considerations.

The Magna Carta document signifies that victory has been achieved. Because certain principal rights have been recognized and guaranteed by the government.
