2002 - HSC Q16 a & b - Human rights

2002 HSC
Section 1
Part B
Question 6
a) Define the notion of individual human rights, and use an appropriate example to illustrate your definition.


I wrote: Individual human rights are the interests, powers, liabilities and entitlements associated with the respect for human dignity and freedom.

I don't know what they mean by individual - as per using an example - would this be considered an individual human right:
Article 5: No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.​
Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948)

Should we use the the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948) or should we use the International Convenant on Civil and Political Rights or the International Convenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights

Question b then states:
b) Define the notion of collective human rights, and use an appropriate example to illustrate your definition.

So I have to find a collective human right - which would probably be universal suffrage?

Has anyone answered this question that could help? Or do i have to go see my teacher?
