Abstract:

The 1948 United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights asserts that social security is an inalienable human right. The general definition of Social Security is to repair and compensate for all social risks that threaten the lives of individuals and families. In a more general sense, social security is a set of legal actions taken by public entities to protect income following retirement, unemployment, old age, disability, loss of guardian, homelessness, disease, and death, and to ensure the well-being of individuals and families by providing public services such as health, housing, and so on. In this article, an attempt is made to present some of the key determinants of social security, the definitions as well as its legalization process, and the results and obligations of the government and international obligations arising from this process.  Because of the importance and necessity of social security and its association with fundamental human rights such as the right to life, it is a fundamental right of human rights.Keywords: social security, administration, legal aspects, human rights, coverage, international
