Happy Human Rights Day

Today marks 70 years since the creation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. In the wake of the Second World War, it set out the fundamental rights to which everyone is entitled – regardless of race, colour, religion, sex, language, political or other opinion.

You can draw a straight line from the Human Rights Act (HRA) to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. So it’s apt that they are both celebrating anniversaries this year. In November we celebrated 20 years of the HRA. In two decades it has supported thousands of individuals in their fight for justice

The Declaration has been translated into over 500 languages and has inspired the creation of 60 human rights instruments that make up human rights law today. They do everything from protecting against torture to guaranteeing the rights of people with disabilities.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is a milestone document in the history of human rights. Drafted by representatives with different legal and cultural backgrounds from all regions of the world, the Declaration was proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly in Paris on 10 December 1948 (General Assembly resolution 217 A) as a common standard of achievements for all peoples and all nations. It sets out, for the first time, fundamental human rights to be universally protected and it has been translated into over 500 languages.

Preamble
Whereas recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world,

Whereas disregard and contempt for human rights have resulted in barbarous acts which have outraged the conscience of mankind, and the advent of a world in which human beings shall enjoy freedom of speech and belief and freedom from fear and want has been proclaimed as the highest aspiration of the common people,

There will be many here at JPP who didn't know that there was any such thing as a Declaration of Human Rights.
Now that they DO know there will be some that want to trample it.
What decrees that they have no right to trample it is basic human decency. There's no specific law which states that human decency is mandatory- but EVERY law alludes to it by default. That's what civilization is- people allowing themselves to be subject to the rule of law.

So here's to those who believe in it and here's to those who uphold it on our behalf. That's OUR behalf- not the behalf of tyrants, dictators or mobsters who make their own laws to suit themselves at our peril. We are decent- they are not. Human nature really is as simple as that.

Happy Human Rights Day.

"Happy Human Rights Day." m #1

And to you m #1.

"There will be many here at JPP who didn't know that there was any such thing as a Declaration of Human Rights." m

Sad that it is necessary.
But it is.

HOWEVER :

International law does not usurp personal responsibility. We would promote a more civil planet if we would practice the moral lesson most of us learned in kindergarten:

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. inspired by Matthew 7:12

If every human adhered to this divine standard, what need would there be for The Universal Declaration of Human Rights?

"He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself." Thomas Paine

Fool. Their country is occupied by the fascists you support.

Once again, I can see the truth went right over your head. Yawn.

This is a human rights thread, kid-killer. Piss off and practice your solitary sex moves.

It is a human rights thread (something you are really good at copying and pasting about, but actually doing nothing for). HAMAS is against human rights. Speak up dick breath.

[moon]

I'll continue supporting human rights both in theory and in practice- you'll continue whining and mod-crawling.

Again- it's a human rights thread. You have absolutely nothing to contribute, kid-killer. Fuck off and troll some other decent cause.
