Description
Human rights are designated for fortification of human race. These rights emerged as a protective shield against the act of torture, injustice, and violation of the Natural rights of the human beings. Philosopher, Humanist, Audrey Hepburn said that, People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed and redeemed.
Human rights ensure"Protection of the inherent dignity and that of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family including women. It is a well-recognized principle that human rights are those natural rights, which are available to human being "by birth. Thus, the centrality of human rights is the dignity of the individual, liberty and equality of status and to make them more meaningful they are woven around the right to education, health, shelter, congenial environment without discrimination as basics to unity and fraternity among the people Civil and Political rights, Social, Economic and Cultural rights have been elaborated to feed and give a wider content to the Human Rights. Thus, Universal Declaration of Human Rights urges the member Nations to treat these rights as part of the "foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world".
The notion of human rights was championed by humanists, philanthropists, rationalists, intellectual persons etc. They supported human rights through notable theories of rights such as Natural Law theory of Rights, Social Contract theories of Rights, Utilitarian theory of Rights, Social welfare theory of Rights, Positive theory of Rights, Marxist theory of Rights, Morality of law theory of Rights, Egalitarian theory of Rights, Theories of Rights based on Equality, Theory of Rights with a variable content, Theories of Rights based on Dignity, Historical theory of Rights and Idealistic theory of Rights.
Later, the human rights are recognized and codified by the United Nations Organization. In this linkage, I wish to reproduce the expression of the former United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Mary Robinson, "We must understand the role of human rights as empowering of individuals and communities. By protecting these rights, we can help to prevent many conflicts based on poverty, discrimination and exclusion (social, economic and political) that continue to plague the humanity and destroy decades of development efforts. The vicious circle of human rights violations that lead to conflicts-which in turn lead to more violations-must be broken. I believe we can break it only by ensuring respect for all human rights." It is the wisdom of human being that an Egalitarian World to be built for the establishment of humanity around the globe. The laws with regard to human rights assume International dimensions, since, it's codification by the United Nations Organization in form of Declarations, Guidelines, Conventions etc. They are being implemented by the member States in their own countries through the medium of their National laws. The National laws of the human rights are vibrant instruments in the organic society. In this context, I would like to appeal the content of the United Nations Charter, "We the People of the United Nations, determined to reaffirm faith in the fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person, in the equal rights of men and women and of nations large and small..."
