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

 Promotion of Human Rights adopted by the UN General Assembly and accepted by Member States in the world is still missing. 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. Being a student of the Graduate Diploma in Human Rights, have attempted to summarize what steps should be taken to accelerate the work of promoting human rights around the world?
 On December 10, 1948, the General Assembly adopted and proclaimed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It aims to:
 1. The promotion of the dignity and equal rights of all the common people in the world.
 2. Promoting freedom, justice and peace in the world.
 3. Promoting freedom of expression for the common people in the world.
 4. The promotion of friendly relations between the common people in the world.
 5. The promotion of equal rights between men and women.
 6. The promotion of social progress and better standards of living of ordinary people in the world.
 The promotion of rights has been entrusted to the United Nations Commission  was replaced by the Council of Human Rights in 2006.
 What are the rights of the man said?
 Listed human rights are detailed ohchr.org. 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.
