Abstract

Every human being has a natural right that is inherent in him called Human Rights (HAM), which gives freedom of thought, opinion, and action to everyone. The idea of ​​human rights was born from events in the past when a physicist coined the Heliocentric Theory. Departing from the thought of Nicholaus Copernicus, finally, a revolution for freedom of speech emerged. This study examines the problem of how the history of the development of the revolution in the idea of ​​human rights in the world and how to enforce human rights in Indonesia? This study uses a normative method with a descriptive-analytical approach, while the legal materials used are secondary legal materials, namely library research. The result of this research is that the idea of ​​human rights stems from the thought of the Heliocentric Theory, although initially, Nicholaus Copernicus had problems because he was considered to be against the teachings of the Roman Church, in the end, the theory that was echoed was accepted, and since then freedom of opinion has been considered. Meanwhile in Indonesia, human rights already have an important position contained in the legislation, but its enforcement has not been fully successful, until now there are still cases of past human rights violations that have not been resolved.
