1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights
Rousseau stated in his Social Contract that “Man is born free—and everywhere he is in chains.”[footnoteRef:2] The insistence on man’s nature right of freedom from the Enlightenment Era philosopher helped pave the way for the French Revolution with its insistence on liberty, fraternity and equality. A century and a half later, those same ideals would still hold significant appeal for the Western nations, especially following two World Wars in the 20th century that decimated Europe and parts of Asia. Liberalism was the main driver of the UN’s declaration… Continue Reading...

There is a common phenomenon in Israel where confusion reigns for the people who are both Jewish and Black. It is a fact that racism practiced based on the color of skin does not pay respect to whether the victim is indeed an Israeli citizen or not or whether the victim is a Jew or a Muslim.

former Human Rights Watch researcher, “The 'abolitionists' truly believe all prostitution is trafficking, and if a woman says she did enter it voluntarily, she's mistaken. It's the conflating of trafficking and prostitution (emphasis added).”
This view has also translated into increasingly restrictive domestic laws that have implications for all citizens. In this regard, Brock emphasizes that, “As a result, human trafficking is used as a rationale to tighten boarders and implement ever more restrictive immigration laws, and to criminalize or otherwise punish the very people who anti-trafficking advocates purport to protect.”… Continue Reading...

universal concerns from many perspectives and practical approaches. I believe the program would propose wide range of issues including arbitration, human rights, economic growth and expansion, education, health, and environment issues.

WECAREHealth (WCH), a New Jersey-based pharmaceutical company, is facing serious human rights issues and environmental concerns due to its activities in the African nation of Colberia. WCH is one of the most successful pharmaceutical companies in the world, but the company's little or no regard for workers and the environment in its Colberian operations is one of its major shortcomings as far as corporate ethical responsibility is concerned. Following a brief definition of the notion of stakeholder, this paper identifies WCH's stakeholders and the human rights issues the company presents for some of its stakeholders.

Human Rights Issues
The American Congress instituted the federal agency, OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) in the year 1970. The agency was made responsible for formulating safety and health standards for organizations. Ever since, key discourse on workplace safety and health has revolved around setting of these public standards. The chief issue is the suitability of cost-benefit analyses for establishing safety and health standards. This appears to be the Colberian facility's chief issue -- the disparity between executives' (i.e., employers') and employees' working conditions, pay, and living standards (Hartman,… Continue Reading...
a lack of effective competition laws, liberal trade, and effective human rights. "Lack of effective legal and judicial protection of liberal rights and property rights inhibits investments and acts as incentive for welfare-reducing private and governmental restrictions of competition and collaboration between cartelized industries and authoritarian governments" (Petersmann, 2002, p. 13). Take that kind of thinking into ALMPs and program types, if program participants feel and have their rights guaranteed and protective as well as provide policies that allow successful implementation of objectives then programs can see higher levels of effectiveness.
The reality is however, that many programs are not… Continue Reading...
race, ethnicity, age, marital status, sex or other describing characteristics (Australian Human Rights Commission, n.d). Workplace discrimination can give the impression of a repudiation of particular civil liberties, neglectful treatment, deliberate undervaluing of an employee's character or work outcomes and attainments. Workplace discrimination is not only done by the employee but by the fellow employees or peers and other superiors as well. Workplace discrimination, although often not as blatant as in previous periods, continues to proliferate across organizations and on a global level. Fittingly regarded as modern discrimination, discriminatory behavior in the present day is time and again categorized by elusive… Continue Reading...
thinking aroused the decision of the lawmakers to integrate the human rights in the constitution. Moreover, John Locke influenced the adoption of 1776 Declaration of Independence that states "that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." (History, 2017, p 1).
One of the aspects of the U.S. constitution is the area of the Bill of Rights (1791) that defines that fundamental human rights that people must enjoy. Locke continues by pointing out that when the government fails to protect the… Continue Reading...
idea, and none of the sub-sections infringe on any human rights. The $1000 penalty is just steep enough to be a deterrent, but not so much as to be inhumane to those who have been remiss. The security provisions and background checks are totally understandable, and are no more strident than what any citizen has to go through to receive their Global Entry or TSA pre-check. We especially appreciate the Section D Accelerated RPI path for DREAMers, which provides clear-cut rules for how this important cohort can achieve their goals and contribute to the future of our nation.

the state behaviors through persuasions, lobbying and shaming. Constructivism also identifies international bureaucracies as the critical entities that pursue their interests through human rights protection and free trade against wishes of the states, which created them.
Additionally, the post-cold war discourse in international relations offers various approaches to understanding the international system. The constructivist theory has been identified as one of the examples of international relations theories revealing the dynamic of world politics. The constructivist's theory focuses on the materialists and neorealism that reveals on the distribution of power that includes economic capabilities, and military forces. (Hurd, 2008). Constructivists theory also explains the state behavior and balance of power between states. (Nugroho,… Continue Reading...
important to conceptualize a set of universal values that can be codified in doctrines of human rights and freedoms. These universal human values and ethics can therefore undergird social norms and laws, preventing recourse to superstition and religion as excuses for human rights abuses. As modern society shifts towards a new moral order based on secular values rather than on religious doctrine, the concept of piety as it is elucidated in Plato’s Euthyphro is the most important concept to be integrated into the Socratic Citizenship Initiative.
In Plato’s Euthyphro, both Socrates and Euthyphro exemplify the need for a universal moral order, one that transcends either… Continue Reading...

Introduction
Like the many other freedoms enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, freedom of expression is deemed to be a fundamental and inalienable human right. Towards this end, it is understood, within the said framework, to constitute the “freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers” (United Nations, 2010, p. 107). For this reason, freedom of expression ought to be granted and guaranteed protection by any jurisdiction that prides itself as a beacon of modern democracy.

As Mingst and Karns (2016) note, the UN has played a predominant role in setting the standard for human rights—and it did so in 1948, three years after the conclusion of WW2. However, setting the standards is not the same as enforcing the standards and so far the UN’s declaration of human rights has been fairly toothless in terms of holding nations accountable through any type of police action. Global police action when it does occur tends to come from the U.S., which emerged as the world leader among the nations in the post-War era. Mingst and Karns (2016) state explicitly that “much of the UN’s success in… Continue Reading...
