Human Rights And The Right Of Humanity And Eradicate Human Abuses

“Ideas about human rights have evolved over many centuries. But they achieved strong international support following the Holocaust and World War II. To protect future generations from a repeat of these horrors, the United Nations adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) in 1948 and invited states to sign and ratify it”

The world was rocked in the aftermath of World War II. The destruction left in its wake would not only have us rebuilding and piecing together our governments, cities, and economies; but our humanity as well. A humanity that was shattered in the face of consequence and a confrontation of our darkest depths of humanity; the act of war. Word of human violation spread like wildfire post world war in occupation and battle hotspots. Happenings most inane, so inhumane, they were be hard to believe that they were true. Fortunately, the spread of globalization along with the after effects of war prompted nation leaders to convene and build together a framework, a concept of Human Rights. This very act prompted Non-Governmental Organizations that watchdog and protect the interest of our basic rights to arise. The weakest and most innocent among us requires the most protection. They are our legacy and they are our future. They are our children.

Protection International provides a necessary service to the cause of furthering human rights. In countries whose government is indifferent or hostile to the well being of activists, or even simply unequipped to provide the protection required of them, human rights defenders have little to no recourse when attacked. Without the assistance and advocacy of organizations like Protection International projects protecting human rights in those areas would be exceedingly risky and in some cases impossible.

Human rights is a pressing and ever growing field of work. In his novel “The Heart of Human Rights”, Allen Buchanan points out the practice of human rights involves:

Slave is a person who is the legal property of another and is forced to obey them; works very hard without proper remuneration or appreciation, or; is excessively dependent upon or controlled by something or someone (Oxford Dictionary, 2014). Slavery has existed for centuries from 2575 BC where it was legally protected. There are five different types of slaveries: forced, debt, sex, child and domestic slavery (National Underground Railroad Freedom Center). With different types of human protection acts and awareness to defend human welfare, slavery has become illegal in all the countries worldwide. Nevertheless, slavery still exists in this 21st century. Therefore, measures should be taken to increase the awareness of slavery in the modern generation especially ethical and corporate human social responsibilities among all parties involved in these illegitimate activities.

As stated in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights “the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world” (United Nations 1948). In theory, human rights can have a universal application, as all human beings are entitled to their natural rights. However, for the rights to be successfully applicable there must be a change in greater society. One of the main barriers is the lack of cultural relativism. This results in states disagreeing with the rights that should be ratified and enforced. Another challenge is the lack of enforcement and the lack of accountability for states to give citizens their rights. As the doctrine is non-binding and exclusive towards certain cultures there is an outlook on human rights being centered towards the west. Moreover, although there is a huge movement to make human rights universally applicable there is yet to be a “model of human rights for the entire world” (Glendon 2004 pg.15).

The concept of human rights surfaced by the atrocities made during World War II. After the war, the successful Allies put German officials on trial at Nuremberg for crimes against humanity. For the first time, individuals were held directly accountable to the international community for violations of human rights. The concerns mentioned during the trial are correlated to other issues made through history and relevant in present day.

The universal Declaration of Human Rights adopted in 1948 is the leading treatise on human rights. The declaration has received much criticism and praise since its inception. The most outstanding criticism of the universal declaration challenges the universality of human rights. The view is that some, if not most, of the provisions in the declaration stems from the customs of the western world. This, therefore, makes human rights inapplicable in and incompatible with other cultures. Human rights is a result of successive struggles in the west. This issue creates a problem in relating cultural rights and the universal nature of human rights. The tension between the two and the concept of cultural relativism are the central elements in contesting the universal nature of human rights. In this respect, this paper will discuss the universal nature of human rights.

One of the critical contagious As international concern, human rights issues are among the most widely debated in the world today. This is because the question of Human Rights is fundamental to mankind . For a long time human rights

The international community has been paid close attention to the human rights issues since the World War II, and the importance of human rights as well as individual freedoms has been emphasized increasingly. According to Donnelly, human rights are the essential aspects that every person should be entitled. Even though human rights legislation may be different because of the political structure of the various sovereign states, there are still fundamental human rights that should be universal to all countries in the world, for example, food, personal security and the freedom of thought. These are the basic needs that should be provided to every human being throughout the world. Failure to adhere to them is, therefore, the violation of human rights. Furthermore, while enjoying one’s human rights, the individual should also respect and protect others’ rights, which is considered to be the correlative responsibilities of his rights (Donnelly, 2013).

The supporting and advocating on behalf of human rights has been one of the primary principles of the world in forming human rights. Since its founding in 1945, the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights has worked to preserve the basic human rights and fundamental freedoms it believes to be deserved of by every man, woman, and child on the planet. In efforts to eliminate violations of human rights, building awareness and protesting inhumane treatment has often led to calls for action and sometimes improved conditions. Everyone has duties in the world and have human rights in to acknowledge their full ability to be who they are and not be punished for that. In the exercise of his rights and freedoms, everyone shall be subject only to such limitations as are determined by law solely for the purpose of securing due recognition and respect for the rights and freedoms of others and of meeting the just requirements of morality, public order and the general welfare of others.

The European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Convention’) stands as the world’s most successful legal instrument and foundation for international legal process in the protection of Human Rights. Drafted two months after the founding of the Council of Europe, in the aftermath of the atrocities of World War II, it was fundamental to the future and stability of the region to introduce Human Rights in a document able to bring peace, unity and accountability. This was articulated at the conference of the International Committee of the Movements for European Unity where the delegates stated:

Human rights are a basic right for every living person on Earth. Regardless of differences, every person has the right to basic needs in order to sustain their life. A current issue in Florida involves a law, HB 401, which will be active in July of this year that affects members of the LGBT community as well as those who wish to practice exercising their religious freedoms. Choosing to live life with morals and values that are highly ethical might differ from person to person. One group should not be allowed to interfere with the basic human rights of another group in order to further their own agenda. Non-biased members of communities could assist both groups in working together to find a peaceful solution that respects everyone 's basic human rights.

Human rights are inherent; they refer to the basic standards of treatment that all people should be entitled to. They are based on a fundamental belief that all human beings have inherent dignity and worth, allowing citizens to make their own decisions, thus promoting equal opportunities for all people to develop to their full potential . In order to ascertain as to whether or not civil procedure provides adequate protections of these rights within an Australian context, it is essential to first examine the current mechanisms in place in the absence of a Bill Of Rights, and to assess their overall effectiveness.

The supporting and advocating on behalf of human rights has been one of the primary principles of the United Nations. Since its founding in 1945, the United Nations has worked to preserve the basic human rights and fundamental freedoms it believes to be deserved of by every man, woman, and child on the planet. Throughout the near seventy years of the United Nations’ existence, it has been challenged with an array of questions, events, and claims regarding the possible violation of human rights. In order to combat these claims, the body has established two organizations to deal with matters of human rights. The first being the Commission Human Rights, was the original organization, founded in 1946. The Commission existed
