Human Rights And Entities That Protect Them

Human rights and entities that protect them

Introduction

Have you ever heard about human rights? Or what entities protect them? Do you know what are the rights that have been granted by the simple to breathe? Human rights are a group of legal obligations of the states that were established so that every person in a society can enjoy a dignified and full life without any discrimination or suffering limitations that hinder development in all their potential, with happiness and aboutEverything, well -being. They are part of a process to build societies and democracy where our fundamental freedoms and rights are respected, which do not have to do with respect to life, freedom to express ourselves, political participation, not to be detained without reason or not to be mistreatedBy authority, but also to our life condition. For us, human beings, we live with dignity we need food, clothing, a roof, education, employment and health, among other forms of satisfaction. In this text, relevant issues will be seen on human rights such as their generalities, educational challenge and international protection of these.

Developing

Definition

A punctual notion about human rights is that they are faculties that are recognized to us all for our state of human beings regardless of differences and circumstances of any kind, it is considered as a way of communicating a worldview, the result of the liberal society that isHe developed in the West, since he argues that it is a new form of cultural imperialism, this position contrary to the doctrine of human rights has been transformed into its main difficulty, since through it important violations are justified is the so -called the so -calledcultural relativism.

Perez Luño (2000) considers that ‘Human Rights are a link of faculties that, at every historical moment it was determined in the demands of freedom and human equality, which must be positively recognized in the national and international environment.’(P.7) In concrete terms, he tells us that human rights are based on human equality and freedom, therefore it must be included and respected anywhere in the world by obviating any type of existing difference.

However, since it is an issue with extensive content, being used regularly and in turn, being a universal institution that crosses political and cultural ideological barriers, even today there is some inconvenience to specify a definition of human rights. (Calderón, 2015)

Ownership

According to Calderón (2015), the head of Human Rights, according to the American Convention from the Conception, is the human being. Likewise, those who are not considered Human Rights holders are legal persons. Due to this situation, a significant dispute has been generated in correspondence with the ownership of human rights of indigenous peoples. It should be noted that the Inter -American Court of Human Rights, although it had initially declared, in various opportunities, such as in the event of the indigenous community Sawhoyamaxa vs. Paraguay, human rights violations to the detriment of members of indigenous peoples, did not recognize, at least directly, these peoples as collective entities or differentiated groups, holders of these rights. However, in the judgment of August 24, 2010 in the case of the native community Xakmok Kasek vs. Paraguay, the Court has recognized the native town as a collective subject of human rights. (pp. 8-9)

The educational challenge of human rights

The challenge in the educational area that human rights have are teaching and perspectives for human rights education.

The teaching of human rights in the international context

According to Tunnermann (1997) to the fulfillment of its Constitution, UNESCO assumed to lead internationally in the field of human rights teaching. In 1968, the “International Conference on Human Rights” that was held in Tehran took place in the end of the United Nations in order to observe the progress obtained from the approval of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. In that same year, the United Nations General Assembly decided to ask its members to choose to introduce the principles proclaimed in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights according to the Education System of each State. From October 17 to November 23, 1974 at the tenth eighth General Conference of UNESCO, held in Paris, the “Recommendation on Education for Understanding, Relative Cooperation of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms” and fundamental freedoms was approved ”and, certainly, after this recommendation, the commitment of the states was obtained to introduce the teaching of human rights in all the modalities and levels of the educational system, with the end of building a culture of peace based on tolerance, theDevelopment Democracy and the broadest respect for human rights. (p. 65)

Perspectives for education in and for human rights

There is currently a worldwide movement in favor of the respect and validity of human rights and within that extensive movement, the work that relates to human rights education are those that stand out. It is difficult to find a country where these efforts are not consecrated by an NGO where both non -formal, informal and formal education modalities are covered taking into account the elaboration of didactic material or diffusion tasks. In January 1995, a meeting of more than fifty directors of institutes with specialization in human rights at the Unesco headquarters in Paris had the context of ‘the decade for education in human rights.’Mayor (1993) expresses that“ Education for Democracy and Human Rights means consolidation, in each of the people, of the right to participate, with an active sense of responsibility.”(P. 66) that is, in order to participate actively, we must adopt a sensible and conscious position. In this regard, UNESCO will offer technical cooperation to the countries that request it in the development of human rights education policies according to the agreement signed between UNESCO and UNHCD that follows the action plan and declaration approved at the Vienna Conferenceof 1993. (Tunnermann, 1997)

International Human Rights Protection

The most relevant human rights protection entities are the universal system and the inter -American system.

The universal system

The Universal Human Rights System is made up of a series of protection agencies that came to emerge due to the proportion of a treaty. There is the example of the International Convention against torture and other cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment that reflects in one of its articles that the fulfillment of this will be monitored through a committee;Obviously formed by people with a degree of experience both in human rights and in forms of prevention of any type of torture, among other diverse and important knowledge that they must possess. Organisms implement procedures and mechanisms for supervision of what the States parties to a treaty do in relation to their obligations. It is also part of the Universal Human Rights Protection System, the CDH (Human Rights Council) that replaces the UN Commission for the Rights. (Cáceres, Duncan, Minot and Molina, 2008)

The inter -American system

In order to supervise compliance with regional human rights treaties, the IACHR (Center for International Humanitarian Law and Human Rights) is linked to governments as much as with non -governmental people and organizations;In his 131 periods of sessions, in March 2008, he met with the representatives of the Afro -descendant communities who requested a report on this social group. As established by the OAS, the IACHR provides protection to people who have suffered violations of their rights and helps states to which their laws and institutions are strengthened in order to protect human rights. (Cáceres, Duncan, Minot and Molina, 2008)

conclusion

Synthesis

In summary, among human rights generalities, its definition and ownership is highlighted. In turn, the challenge in the educational area that human rights have are teaching and perspectives for human rights education. On the other hand, the most relevant human rights protection entities are the universal system and the inter -American system.

Reflection

As incredible as it may seem, there are still governments that do not respect human rights and this occurs because sometimes, citizens themselves do not respect the rights of others. Those who do not have the sufficiency of seeing other human beings as the same, lack in spirit. Our society is full of people corroded by the greed of those who flatter to the fort and use the weak, wrongly thinking that their power will make them happy. Even so, we are all human and that is what transcends. Everyone has the right to carry out their mission in this world. You, I, all of us, like the rest. At the same time, the rights of people come to devastate the natural order of things. That is why we must value human rights and in turn, respect others as an indispensable task.
