Q1
Introduction
The introduction will contain the definition of concepts used. There will be a discussion here on the situation of natural disasters in international human rights law. This section will conclude with an outline of the following sections.
Issue
The issues affecting human rights will be highlighted. These include:
• Sub-standard led to poor people being more affected by the earthquake than rich people;
• The lack of security in the camps have led to sexual assault;
• The camps are now using land illegally, and landowners are unable to fully enjoy their property;
• The landowners are being defamed;
• IDPs are being forcefully evicted without any legal recourse;
• The alternative IDP camps have poor infrastructure and will risk access to food, security, transportation, and media;
• Landowners’ property is being damaged;
• Protestors are being injured and killed by state forces;
• There are long waiting lists for social housing.
Rule
There will be a discussion on the responsibility of the state to protect IDPs (UDHR preamble, Article 2(1) ICCPR, Article 2 CRC). There will be a discussion of jurisdiction and limitations.
From then on, the essay will look at specific human rights in detail, addressing in each case the legal sources of the law, and the scope of the right. The Right to an Adequate Standard of Living.
(Article 25(1) UDHR, Article 11 ICESCR, Article 17 ICCPR, Article 14 (2) and 15 (2) CEDAW, and General Comments).
There will be a discussion on how
Human rights are rights innate to every single individual, whatever our nationality, where you live, sex, national or ethnic birthplace, color of skin, religion, dialect/language, and many more. We are all similarly qualified for our human rights without segregation. These rights are altogether interrelated, associated and resolute. Widespread human rights are regularly communicated and ensured by law, in the types of treaties, standard global law, general standards and different wellsprings of international. International human rights law sets down commitments of Governments to act in certain routes or to cease from specific acts, keeping in mind the end goal to advance and secure human rights and central flexibilities of people or
When comparing apples to pears, one is not making a fair comparison, but a disproportionate comparison. Often times when international law is discussed or attempts are made to understand international law; many often attempt to compare international law with existing laws such as national law or domestic law. Making such disproportionate comparisons leads to many misconceived notions and attitudes toward international law. For an adequate comparison of international law to other laws, one should look closely at the available facts. This essay will demonstrate the vitality of international law, in a world of nations which continue to increase in interdependence.
The buildings within the camps were not built to last and were not a luxury. These camps were built within weeks to contain as much people as possible. "For one thing, 80 to 90 percent of structures are gone or in a state of ruin," says Andrew Curry who had written an article about the problems within the current camp. The other buildings are either sinking or being worn down by weather. This can relate back to the previous problem.
The conditions of the tent cities remain poor and not conducive for people to be living in. The tents have no basic amenities such as running water, electricity, or sewage lines. Marie and Francisco Caro used an oil barrel as their only source of heat and as an improvised stove. A lot of the conditions seem to be safety hazards for the people living there, then again that’s the conditions that they live with. The people must feel like there’s no light at the end of the tunnel as the dwindling job market forces them to move into these homeless shelters with no way to improve their situation.
One of the basic rights that is established is the right to international protection when people are fleeing from serious harm in their country. This right is provided through national asylum systems. It is made sure that no advantages are taken of these systems through common minimum standards and procedures for asylum throughout Europe. These determine the process one needs to go through in order to obtain asylum and the requirements that need to fulfilled in order to be granted asylum.
With the government trying intensely to eradicate the problem, registered IDPs are given household items, food, emergency healthcare and hygiene products for a three month period. After this period they are entitled to assistance in the matters of education, training and health. The system does not account for unregistered IPD’s, which is estimated to be 30% of them.
There is a close relationship between human rights and criminal law. The scope of my paper will surround human rights and the International Criminal Court (ICC) in addition to human rights and international crimes. International criminal justice in this context speaks to those interested in prosecuting against the background of international human rights and humanitarian norms. The use of criminal law has many positive effects and pursues many goals that are worth considering. For example, deterrence, accountability and punishment are important principles that will be discussed in the context of human rights. Is the International Criminal Court an effective method to promote and protect human rights internationally? If so, why and how?
Further stresses the importance to differentiate between state laws and human rights and express all forms of communities and groups and their opinions with a view to promote human rights ;
Recent rights development has sought to justify the civilization and the importance of rights by reference to some overriding value, such as freedom, fairness, independence, equality, quality of life, and dignity.
The doctrine of human rights were created to protect every single human regardless of race, gender, sex, nationality, sexual orientation and other differences. It is based on human dignity and the belief that no one has the right to take this away from another human being. The doctrine states that every ‘man’ has inalienable rights of equality, but is this true? Are human rights universal? Whether human rights are universal has been debated for decades. There have been individuals and even countries that oppose the idea that human rights are for everybody. This argument shall be investigated in this essay, by: exploring definitions and history on human rights, debating on whether it is universal while providing examples and background

Living conditions and sanitation and refugee camps are the main problems that almost every refugee camp has to go through. There are so many refugees and so little supplies, workers, and living space so it makes it very hard for camps to try to have enough supplies and keep their camps clean. A refugee camp is a temporary home to help people to get back on their feet, but these camps are having so many problems that they are making it harder for refugees to get back on their feet. The camp 's main problem is lack of sanitation, people are coming to these camps and getting sick because the camps are so dirty. The next main issue is a lack of supplies, people are coming to these camps in need of water, food, and living space and some of these camps can not even provide these new campers with the supplies because they already have so many people that they have to provide for.
The atrocities of World War II, the collapse of Nazi Regime and the human rights movement are the primary reasons that led human dignity to be adopted in a wide range of legal texts and provisions. The primary push for this focus on human dignity in the law can be identified in three important legal documents. Each of these three documents in one way or
Topic 6: International Human Rights Organizations and States in charge of enforcing human rights regulations.
The term of ‘International law’ first used by Jeremy Bentham in his Introduction to the Principles of Morals and Legislation, later Hugo Grotius who is a one of the prominent intellectual figure in Europe lead to concept of the modern framework for international law. According the United Nations, international law is defined as ‘the legal responsibilities of States in their conduct with each other, and their treatment of individuals within State boundaries.’ In addition to the U.N. definition, along with the States non-governmental organizations (NGO) and individuals go on to became a subordinate subject of international law, too. International law divided into two parts as private international law and public international; however, general usage of the international law refers to public international law. Through my Fulbright independent research project, I hope to deepen and strengthen knowledge on International law and then especially I would like to specialize academic studies in international humanitarian law (IHL).
