Human Rights

, What is Human Rights?
- The basic rights and freedoms to which all human beings are entitled. They’re applicable at all times and in all places and they protect
everyone equally, without discrimmination
- United Nations Office of the High Commissioner states ‘Their denial is not only an individual and personal tragedy, but also creates
conditions of social and political unrest, sowing the seeds of violence and conflict within and between societies and nations’


THE UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS (UDHR)

● Adopted by United Nations General Assembly in 10th December 1948 - there are 30
● UN: In 1941 due to the Atlantic Charter policy statement issued during WW2. Stated the ideal goals of post war e.g. no territorial
aggrandizement and self-determination. Supporters of AC, signed the Declaration by the UN in 1942 (basis of UN).
● The UN enabled decolonisation and post war independence
● Global initiative to prevent declining political stability = less economically prosperous = impacts trade and interdependency
● UDHR aim: never repeat atrocities of World Wars
● Bill of rights was agreed and signed by 1948. Included debates to ensure it was not only supporting Western ideals and values
HOWEVER:
They have not been adhered to uniformly
Violations of human rights has occurred in advanced and developing countries and with different scales e.g. child labour, trafficking,
genocide
Globalisation = Transnational integration and increased mobility = strengthens protection of HR
- This has enhanced the ability of civil society to work across borders and promote HR
- On the other hand, enabled some organisations to gain power and perpetrate violence
Geographical patterns of socio- economic inequality is associated with inequalities in HR e.g. MDGs is human rights led
