Your Rights On A Criminal Case
Criminal cases happen very often and very often the defendants are responsible for some serous violations, so it is hard to preserve the individual rights of the citizen especially at the early stages of a criminal case. Stages like arrest and booking usually happen very fast and are not controlled well like the courtroom stages, so it will be useful to know your rights right from the beginning. During a criminal case you always have a number of rights at every stage of the process, except for the basics like human rights of course.

The Convention on the Rights of a Child is an edict from the United Nations that legally binds member nations to honor the rights of children.

The articles of the convention state that the rights, as outlined, extend to all children, no matter their race, religion or nationality. It guarantees that all nations legally bound by the convention must insure that the rights of the child are protected using any means available.

Xinjiang Plays World Human Rights Stepchild to Rock Star Tibet
While Tibet has played the role of China’s “rock star” to human rights activists around the world, China’s Xinjiang Province has been treated more like an unwanted stepchild. One reason is that Tibet has a true rock star in the exiled Dalai Lama. Another reason is that the strife in Xinjiang involves Muslim ethnic minorities with alleged ties to the most hated man in the Western world — Osama Bin Laden. All of this, however, is simply unfair because what is happening in Xinjiang in terms of human rights violations may be even worse than the Tibetan repression. Read the rest of this entry »

A Humane Face of America
The people of the world has divergent views about the US, sometimes a saviour and shelter for the poor, needy, orphans, supressed, affected populas, while sometimes a hegemonic, waring, posing instability to its opponents, whenever these states or world actors pose any threat to the US interests abroad. The concept about a super power to resolve all the global matters faced either to its friends or foes could be supernatural but not practical. It is quite difficult for one to justify his position helping one against the other even with good faith could be somehow correct, but the divergent opinion will remain alive. The american public, their sacrifices for growth and liberation of the civilization, supremacy of judiciary respect for human rights, elimination of poverty, spreading of education, economic growth, projecting civic norms, could never be over sighted. But the reality is that inspite of good or bad depictions, almost every individual in the modern world dreams to visit US, may be because of her status of being the land of oppertunities, home of great people, enormous strong insitutions, modern educational and research universities, fast authentic communication system, mastering technology, having one of the worlds developed and advanced space and nuclear technology program, arms and aerial supremacy having thousands of aircrafts, and the major contributor in terms of human assistance. Computer and electrical machinery, vehicles, chemical products, food and live animals, military equipment and aircrafts are the US previleges being shared with the rest of the world as its major exports. US is home of Internet, google and yahoo, and by early 2005 nearly 68% of Americans were estimated to be online pushing globalization and e-commerce a boost. Read the rest of this entry »

Promoting Human Rights- A Strategy to Promote The Rights of Ordinary People

The poor people of many member states do not have the basic right to food, shelter, medicine and education. The common people have no fundamental right to safety, the environment of peace and pollution free to live his life. The promotion of rights by superpower is mere formality and poor Member States have shown the inability to implement the rights of its people.

She argued that all people regardless of their place of residence, sex, origin, color, language or national origin, religion or other status, are all equally entitled to it without discrimination. These rights are equal rights for all peoples of the world. .
Who is promoting human rights?
To coordinate the work of promoting human rights in the Member States has been entrusted to the United Nations Commission under the United Nations in 1946. He was replaced by the Council of Human Rights in 2006. The Human Rights Council is an intergovernmental forum within the UN system composed of 47 member states to strengthen the promotion and protection of human rights worldwide.
Administration of the Member States must respect, protect and promote human rights under international law accepted. The obligation to protect requires States to protect individuals and groups against abuses of human rights. At the individual level, while we are entitled to our rights, we must also respect the rights of others.
The universal rights of man are often expressed and guaranteed by law in the form of treaties, customary international law, general principles and other sources of international law. The International Law on Human Rights sets out the obligations of governments to act a certain way or refrain from certain acts, to promote and protect fundamental rights and freedoms of individuals or groups
How much of promoting human rights has been reached?
1. Most Member States have signed treaties with the UN to be part of its constitution and procedures to correct violations of human rights.
2. It helped the development of friendly relations among nations and resolves most international disputes by negotiation. But peace in the adult population in the world is still missing.
3. The right to good food and housing is still denied to most people in the world. Many are not even aware of this right.
4. The right to basic education is still denied to children worldwide. Many are not even aware of this right.
5 The freedom of expression for the common people is still missing in much of civilization.
6. The right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion is still denied in many countries.
7. Equal rights between men and women are still not recognized in many member states.
What steps should be taken to expedite the work of promoting human rights in the world?
1. To promote awareness of human rights in the world, the media and television channels should be used by the Council of Human Rights.
2. To encourage experts to address the administration and legal affairs of the rights, the University of Human Rights should be drafted by the Commission on Human Rights. It shall become a model for promoting the rights of the university to meet local needs.
3. Human rights must be part of primary education in all Member States in the world.
4. Human rights violations must be verified by qualified experts in the field of human rights in all Member States.
5. Regular session on the violation of human rights should be strengthened

INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS: PRESCRIPTION AND ENFORCEMENT
INTRODUCTION
Rights that belong to an individual as a consequence of being human. They refer to a wide continuum of values that are universal in character and in some sense equally claimed for all human beings. It is a common observation that human beings everywhere demand the realisation of diverse values to ensure their individual and collective well-being. It also is a common observation that these demands are often painfully frustrated by social as well as natural forces, resulting in exploitation, oppression, persecution, and other forms of deprivation. Deeply rooted in these twin observations are the beginnings of what today are called “human rights” and the legal processes, national and international, associated with them.
