A report by the Netherlands Institute for Human Rights shows that, even though many Dutch consider human rights an essential issue, over 40 percent of the population isn't able to mention a single human right. However, it is far more shocking that the institute's research shows that 10 percent of those interviewed believe human rights shouldn't be applicable to refugees who are staying in the Netherlands. The report has been published in the context of the International Human Rights Day on December 10, 2015.
