Natural law is law that people follow naturally. Slowly not even kings were able to have power over people. Roman concept of natural law had become natural rights. Wealthy and royalty dont have more rights. To reaffirm faith and fundamental human rights in the dignity and worth of human person was the goal of the united nations which was created after the wars.
