Do you know your rights under your
constitution of the nation? Have you ever evaluated your rights?
If not, how you will follow the legal course to redress the
problems arising from it? Very few countries are serious in
promoting education right for people to help you know your
rights. Being a student of the Post-Graduate Diploma in Human
Rights, have attempted to summarize what is the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights?
On December 10, 1948, the United Nations General Assembly
adopted and proclaimed the Universal Declaration of Human
Rights. It aims to promote respect for these rights and freedoms
and their universal recognition and observance, both among the
peoples of Member States themselves and among the peoples of
territories under their jurisdiction. It is applicable to all UN
member states, which are now almost all countries of the world.
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights was not originally
designed to be legally binding, but it became legally binding as
customary law of the individual man. It lists the rights of your
human beings in the world, called articles 30.

in a spirit of brotherhood

Do you know how many people in the world are entitled to these
rights? Do you know how those rights are accepted by the law of
your country? Most UN member states have completed the paper
required to accept these rights and to punish those who violate
it. But the practical spirit is lacking, even in developed
countries. Do you know that the empowerment of social justice is
missing in the world? Large companies are exploiting your rights
and cause an imbalance in the distribution of wealth and
pollution of the global environment. Do you know that good food
and housing is still denied to most people in the world? Do you
know that the right to basic education is still denied to
children in the world? Many are not even aware of this right.
Have you tried to know that the right to good food and
accommodation is included in your Universal Declaration of Human
Rights? Have you ever tried to know that the right to basic
education is covered in your Universal Declaration of Human
Rights? Have you ever tried to know that freedom of expression
is within your rights? Have you ever tried to know that the
right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion is included
in your rights universal? Have you ever tried to know that you
are fully aware and support the human rights of all human beings
in the world? If human rights are followed with honesty, peace
in human life in the world is already achieved? It is my
perception
