	Definition of Cyrus Charter of Human Rights
		After his easy victory over Babylonia, described in the Cyrus Cylinder, a masterpiece of diplomatic propaganda mixed with deep political wisdom, the Achaemenid Persian Cyrus the Great presented himself not as a conqueror, but a liberator, a restorer of the right religion (of Marduk) and the legitimate successor to the crown.
		Cyrus had no thought of forcing conquered people into a single mould, and had the sense not to change the institutions of each kingdom, but rather attached them to the Persian crown.
		He also declared the first Charter of Human Rights known to mankind, which is written on the clay cylinder now at the British Museum.

	Human rights - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Human rights refers to the concept of human beings as having universal rights, or status, regardless of legal jurisdiction or other localizing factors, such as ethnicity, nationality, and sex.
		The term "human rights" has replaced the term "natural rights" in popularity, because the rights are less and less frequently seen as requiring natural law for their existence.
		Human rights have historically arisen from the need to protect citizens from abuse by the state and this might suggest that all mankind has a duty to intervene and protect people wherever they are.

	History of Iran: Cyrus Charter of Human Rights
		The document has been hailed as the first charter of human rights, and in 1971 the United Nations was published translation of it in all the official U.N. languages.
		This is a confirmation that the Charter of freedom of Humankind issued by Cyrus the Great on his coronation day in Babylon could be considered superior to the Human Rights Manifesto issued by the French revolutionaries in their first national assembly.
		Comparing the Human Rights Manifesto of the French National Assembly and the Charter approved by the United Nations with the Charter of Freedom of Cyrus, the latter appears more valuable considering its age, explicitness, and rejection of the superstitions of the ancient world.
