World Human Rights Day - More Than Mere Celebrations!
by
Jayashankar V S
The horrors of the Second World War shook the entire world! Besides thousands of precious lives lost, the world witnessed perhaps the most gruesome violation of human rights during the time. In a way the war was a wake up call for the entire world. In 1945, the founding member nations of the then newly formed United Nations came together to draft many radical laws to protect and promote the basic human rights of its citizens.

Universal Declaration of Human Rights
by
Mark Lawrence Lovett
Looking ahead to the inauguration of a new president of the United States, I began thinking about what sort of world we might want to create, and the initiatives we must undertake in order to see that vision become reality. From a logical perspective it seemed right that ensuring basic human rights for everyone on the planet needs to happen first.

Hard-Headed Practicality at the Brisbane Social Forum's Human Rights Seminar
by
David Jackmanson
The Human Rights seminar at the Brisbane Social Forum, Australia, on Saturday May 20th 2006, was not the usual lawyer's talkfest. Instead, five women with real, cynical experience on the ground talked about their work.

Animal Rights Campaigners Attack Chicken Coop Backyards
by
Colin Munro
For many year animal rights campaigners have been complaining about the conditions in which chickens are kept industrially both for eggs and for meat. And they have a point; battery hens are kept in very small cages where they can hardly move, with no access to the outside, fresh air and are unable to satisfy their natural instinct to scratch around in the ground looking for food. Inevitable they go crazy and often peck themselves to death so to stop them from damaging themselves they have their beaks cut of which is a painful process.

Gay Rights = Human Rights
by
Sonja Be
Being gay in Uganda is an issue, an issue that can get you killed. Homosexual acts are illegal in Uganda with a possible 14 year punishment in prison. The Ugandan government has tirelessly tried to further criminalize homosexuality by adding anti-gay laws that call for the death penalty but many activists have vigorously fought for LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender) rights. Their work has not gone unnoticed.

Promoting Human Rights Above the Prevention of Drug Abuse?
by
Mel Menzies
Britain now has an estimated 1% of the population taking illegal drugs. Approximately 300,000 children are being raised in homes where one, or both, parents is an addict. And the trade is estimated to be worth more than £5.3billion. Yet it seems that Human Rights is the god of the era. My daughter and I were failed by the various agencies from which we sought help for her heroin addiction. Yet it's not bitterness I feel but sadness. Sadness that we've failed a whole generation of young people. Sadness that we're on course to fail many more.

The Dilemma Of Human Rights - 1978 Editorial
by
Lindsey Williams
The trouble was - and still remains for the American public - that "human rights" has too many meanings. Each hearer interprets the concept to suit his own convictions.

Anti Human Trafficking Efforts: Using Internet and Social Media!
by
Muhammad Saad Khan
Slavery was, in a very real sense, the first international human rights issue to come to the fore. It led to the adoption of the first human rights laws and to the creation of the first human rights non-governmental organization. And yet despite the efforts of the international community to combat this abhorrent practice, it is still widely prevalent in all its insidious forms, old and new.

Genocide - An Affront to Human Rights
by
Rob Rayburn Jr
What is it about the condition of man that allows for the wholesale slaughter of entire ethnic groups of people? How could the people of Eastern Europe, and specifically Pols and Germans not have known what was happening to the Jews? The demonization preceding attempts to eradicate the earth of particular groups of people is indeed very systematic and indicative of the worst kind of hate harbored by man.
