Rights affecting non-human animals, commonly called 'animal rights', encompass everything from the legal recognition of non-human animal sentience to the absolute lack of any anti-cruelty laws with no regard for animal welfare. The recognition of such animal rights varies greatly from one jurisdiction (such as a country, territory, or other political entity) to another.
It has been proposed that the League of Nations pass the first resolution recognizing animal rights, the Universal Declaration on Animal Welfare, which acknowledges the importance of the sentience of animals and human responsibilities towards them.
