Islam, Judaism And Christianity, On Human Rights And Democracy?
Islam, Judaism and Christianity, on human rights and democracy?
By: H.A. Yahya, Professor of Sociology
This state is not unique for Muslim faith, religion through history was (and still is) a force to stabilize cultures, as a force for hostility toward others. European wars were incited by religion. That’s in theory, the west perceptions of Islam is that Islam induce suicide bombing culture, which is not true. The issue of martyrdom is different from suicide bombers, and Muslims have a difficulty to distinguish between the two in recent years to satisfy the new world order and its leading force, the USA, especially after September 11. where human rights and democracy were put in the back seat.

Rights Of The Child To Survive In The Society
Family-laws.org mission is to advocate for the protection of children’s rights, to help meet their basic needs and to expand their opportunities to reach their full potential. Family-laws.org is guided in doing this by the provisions and principles of the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
Built on varied legal systems and cultural traditions, the Convention is a universally agreed set of non-negotiable standards and obligations. These basic standards—also called human rights—set minimum entitlements and freedoms that should be respected by governments. They are founded on respect for the dignity and worth of each individual, regardless of race, color, gender, language, religion, opinions, origins, wealth, birth status or ability and therefore apply to every human being everywhere. With these rights comes the obligation on both governments and individuals not to infringe on the parallel rights of others. These standards are both interdependent and indivisible; we cannot ensure some rights without—or at the expense of—other rights.
A legally binding construction
The assembly on the Rights of the Child is the first legally binding international instrument to incorporate the full range of human rights—civil, cultural, economic, political and social rights. Let see in the year 1989, overall world leaders decided that children needed a special assembly just for them because children under 18 years old often need extra care and protection that adults do not. The leaders also wanted to make sure that the world perceived that children have rights too.
The assembly sets out these rights in 54 articles and two Optional Protocols. It spells out the basic human rights that children everywhere have: the right to survival; to develop to the fullest; to protection from harmful influences, abuse and exploitation; and to participate fully in family, cultural and social life. The four core principles of the Convention are non-discrimination; devotion to the best interests of the child; the right to life, survival and development; and respect for the views of the child. Every right spelled out in the Convention is inherent to the human dignity and harmonious development of every child. The Convention protects children’s rights by setting standards in health care; education; and legal, civil and social services.
By agreeing to undertake the compulsion of the assembly, national governments have committed themselves to protecting and ensuring children’s rights and they have agreed to hold themselves accountable for this commitment before the international nation. States parties to the assembly are obliged to develop and undertake all actions and policies in the light of the best interests of the child.
