American State Laws Put Into the UN Human Rights Report
To borrow the Fox News moniker, I try to be fair and balanced when I write articles with political content. I try to give information to support either side of an argument, though admittedly, you usually know which side of the fence I’m on by the time you reach the bottom of the article. This article will be different; mainly because, in my opinion, there is NO plausible, contradicting argument. Read the rest of this entry »

Introduction:
Ward and Birgden (2006) define human rights as those rights claimed by an individual on the basis that they are human beings, with reference to prisoners there are two views toward human rights, one of the view that individuals hold is that prisoners are moral strangers and do not deserve consideration, the other view is that prisoners are human beings and deserve a chance to live better lives. A human right approach toward imprisonment will benefit both the prisoners and prison officers who work directly with prisoners.

Human Rights Law in Canada
Worldwide Canada is considered to be one of the leading countries that support the global human rights movement. The history of Human Rights Law in Canada begins in the advent of the Canadian Bill of Rights, before that the human rights issues were usually regulated with single court cases and the verdicts of such cases were used to regulate similar situations. In 1938 by the decision of Reference re Alberta Statutes, the Supreme Court of Canada first recognized an implied bill of rights. The case revolved around an Albertan law that prohibited the press from criticizing the government. Another major step in the Human Rights Law was done in 1948 when the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was signed and from that moment the Canadian Government attempted to make universal human rights a part of Canadian law. While even before that the Government has done lot of thing to solve various racial discrimination problems, with the signing of the Declaration the country turned to equality and problems of homosexual people. Canada by the way was the fourth country in the world to legalize same-sex marriage nationwide with an amendment of the Civil Marriage Act. Despite all these achievements there are still some problems left today. Some Canadian provinces still have religiously segregated schools, there is a certain lack of anti-discrimination laws to protect the disabled and the treatment of Canada’s First Nations people or Aboriginal Canadians attract criticism form the United Nations and other countries. But still the main areas of the Human Rights like the freedom of speech or the workers rights are heavily protected by the appropriate parts of the Canadian Law. Read the rest of this entry »

Human Rights Situation in Nigeria in the Eye of the International Community
That the International community considers human rights situation frightening in Nigeria even in the face of democracy currently being enjoyed in the nation is not surprising after all at least to key observers.

Youth For Human Rights Florida Reaches Out To The Community On The International Day Against Racial Discrimination
March 22, 2010 – TAMPA BAY – Youth for Human Rights Florida steps out onto the streets to create awareness against racial discrimination on the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, a day when people around the world come together in their communities to work toward ending racism. The group, which promotes education of the 30 human rights based on the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, went to the people in the streets asking them to sign a petition to get human rights taught in schools.
Gathering hundreds of signatures, Youth for Human Rights Florida believes that when people fully understand human rights, they will demand their rights and respect the rights of others. Making racial discrimination a priority, the group works toward tolerance and peace through various avenues such as marching on Martin Luther King Jr. Day; to representing youth at Passing the Torch to America’s Youth – the story of Selma, Alabama, to gain voter’s rights for all races; to representing the USA in the International Walk for Human Rights on UN Human Rights Day, when the United Nations stated their motto as “Embrace Diversity – End Discrimination”.
“The dream of a world free of racial hatred and bias remains only partially recognized, as according to FBI statistics racial hate crimes in America are on the rise,” said Youth for Human Rights Florida President Dustin McGahee.
The International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination was first established in 1966 because of the shocking violence on March 21, 1960, when the massacre of young students peacefully protesting against apartheid laws in South Africa killed 69 people. The United Nations General Assembly called upon the international community to work together throughout the world to eliminate all forms of racial discrimination.
Youth for Human Rights Florida is a secular, non-profit organization with the mission to educate people of all ages about their rights. The uniqueness of the program lies in the educational materials created in collaboration with the Human Rights Department of the Church of Scientology International. Its founder L. Ron Hubbard in fact stated: “Human rights must be made a fact, not an idealistic dream”. Designed to present the subject of human rights in multimedia formats suitable for all ages, the materials include “The Story of Human Rights,” a documentary video that illustrates the history of human rights through the ages; booklets; public service announcements that educate youth and adults on the 30 articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights; and teaching aids that include a study guide, activities manual and educator’s classroom kit.
