Human rights are considered imprescriptible, which means they have no expiration date.

Overview

Human rights are considered imprescriptible, which means they have no expiration date. Even if someone stops exercising a right for a long period, it remains valid and available to be claimed when necessary. This is fundamental to the issue of immigration as a human right, where migrants may not be able to fully exercise their rights immediately, such as the right to work or education, but these rights remain valid and ready to be achieved when circumstances allow. The imprescriptibility of human rights highlights the importance of ensuring that everyone, regardless of their origin or migration status, has access to their fundamental rights, highlighting the ongoing need to defend the dignity and rights of all human beings.
