I've never heard it distilled down to 5 before. When people talk about rights recognized by the UN, they usually start with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It's a non-binding document but has significantly influenced other human rights treaties and also national laws.

Political (Participative) Freedoms, Economic Facilities, Social Opportunities, Transparency Guarantees and Protective Security

Depends on the context of what you're looking for. "Five Freedoms" is a catch phrase at the United Nations.

The freedoms of speech, press, and religion; the people's right to keep and bear arms; the freedom of assembly; the freedom to petition; and the rights to be free of unreasonable search and seizure; cruel and unusual punishment; and compelled self-incrimination. The Bill of Rights also restricts Congress' power by prohibiting it from making any law respecting establishment of religion and by prohibiting the federal government from depriving any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law. In criminal cases, it requires indictment by grand jury for any capital or "infamous crime," guarantees a speedy public trial with an impartial and local jury, and prohibits double jeopardy.

it incredibly is unlikely that the UN is biased against Muslim countries. in case you look at their club and stands on subject concerns over the years it incredibly is obvious if something there is an anti-western bias. i'd study this record interior the mild for which it became written. As a device to extort extra funds from western countries to "help" the failed and corrupt Muslim countries collectively as they spend all their time and components on attempting to take over the international as against help their very own human beings. specifically situations the actuality hurts.

Maybe this link could help

There are three freedoms mentioned there:
* Freedom from want
* Freedom from fear
* Freedom to live in dignity

If there are to be 5 freedoms, I think you would also need the two core freedoms of liberalism:
* Freedom of thought (including freedom of religion)
* Freedom of expression (including freedom of speech)

You may refer to the "four freedoms":
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4_freedoms

Personally, I assume the following 5 freedoms (in my vision for liberalism):
* Freedom of thought (and religion)
* Freedom of expression (and speech)
* Freedom of assembly (which includes having law made by the people for the people)
* Freedom of chance (which encompasses the freedom from want, freedom from fear and freedom to live in dignity)
* Freedom of action with respect for all other freedoms (and thus also the law)
