Unit 2 Human rights

Nature and evolution of human rights: Developments in human rights over time and space

Read all the sources carefully and answer all the questions that follow.

Source B Adapted from “Why is EU free movement so important?”, an article by
Sonia Sodha, www.bbc.co.uk (2015).

Free movement of people – alongside free movement of goods, services and capital – is one of the four
founding principles of the European Union2 (EU). It gives all citizens of EU countries the right to travel,
live and work wherever they wish within the EU.

Where did the idea of free movement of people come from? The EU was formed as European leaders
came together after the Second World War, wanting to prevent another catastrophic war. The idea was
that allowing people to move across the continent – from countries where there were no jobs to countries
where there were labour shortages – would not only boost European growth, but would help prevent war
by getting people to mix more across borders.

Over time, the idea of Europe as an economic union evolved into a more political project. According to
a Belgian political scientist at the London School of Economics, the Treaty of Maastricht3 “changed the
nature of the EU from an economically-oriented project towards a more politically-oriented project.”
He explains that one of the important outcomes was that we had something called European Citizenship.
“Before that, European rights were only for people that were economically active, that moved across
borders to work or to provide a service in economic terms. After that it became much more of a political
concept whereby every European citizen had certain rights to free movement”.

Source C Adapted from “France: UN expert says new terrorism laws may undermine
fundamental rights and freedoms”, a news article from United Nations
Human Rights, Office of the High Commissioner (2018).

An independent expert on the protection of human rights in the context of countering terrorism, who
visited France at the Government’s invitation, acknowledged the serious and ongoing security
challenges being experienced by France, and the indisputable necessity of providing security for all
citizens. The expert underlined that France’s counter-terrorism action must continue to be rooted in,
and comply with international law including human rights, humanitarian and refugee law. Echoing the
recommendations of the United Nations Global Strategy on Counter-terrorism adopted by consensus by
all 193 States, she stressed that effective counter-terrorism measures and the protection of human rights
are not conflicting goals, but complementary.

She has praised efforts by France to combat terrorism but has raised concerns about the effect
anti-terrorism laws have on the enjoyment of fundamental human rights including liberty, privacy,
association, movement and religious freedom. She was particularly mindful of the effects of these laws
on the full enjoyment of rights by French citizens of the Muslim faith highlighting, as an example, the
closure of mosques as a limitation on the enjoyment of religious freedom.

Source D “Global Challenges to Human Rights Today”, a lecture delivered by Zeid Ra’ad
Al Hussein, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (2017).

[…] the universality of rights is being contested across much of the world. It is under broad assault from
terrorists, authoritarian leaders4, populists5 and those who claim to support “traditional values”. All seem
only too willing to sacrifice, in varying degrees, the rights of others for the sake of power. Their combined
influence has grown at the expense of the liberal order6.

Two months ago, I visited Facebook7 in the US, to discuss how it determines content online, specifically
with respect to freedom of expression, and removal of incitement to hatred. Rather than use the
international standard, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, which regulates the
freedom of expression, the company appears to be using as a guide the US Constitution. But it’s not the
applicable law in most countries. Facebook simply did not know which countries are legally bound by the
Covenant; and had never thought to ask.

I also travelled to Libya […] a country so broken and dangerous that the UN cannot maintain a
permanent presence. Thousands of people, mainly migrants, are subjected to slavery, trafficking and
sexual violence, and almost anyone may be the object of unnecessary violence.

Our inability over decades to communicate to a wider audience, comprehensibly, simply, humbly, the
supreme importance of universal human rights, has left the door open to the enemies of rights. Their
claims, that human rights are simply a vehicle for Western values and interests, have stifled progress
and cut off the formation of a popular base for rights world-wide.

Today, the legitimacy and necessity of human rights faces a test. There is growing ignorance of the
origins of this rights architecture and fewer of the WWII generation alive to remember why this rights
architecture came to exist.
