Human rights refers to the concept of human beings as having universal rights, or status, regardless of legal jurisdiction or other localizing factors, such as ethnicity and nationality.\n\nNGO Monitor is a project with the stated aim of monitoring non-governmental organizations operating in Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza. It is a program of the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, and was formerly a joint project with B'nai Brith International.[1].\n\nNGO Monitor describes its goal as "end[ing] the practice used by certain self-declared 'humanitarian NGOs' of exploiting the label 'universal human rights values' to promote politically and ideologically motivated anti-Israel agendas."\n\nNGO Monitor has criticized several international human rights organisations, including Christian Aid for its alleged "extensive involvement in anti-Israel propaganda campaigns" [2] and Human Rights Watch whose reports it found to be "systematically and exceedingly biased" [3], Amnesty International [4], Oxfam [5] and Medecins Sans Frontieres [6]\n\nIt has also accused the Ford Foundation of funding NGOs, such as the Palestinian human rights organization Al Mezan Center, allegedly involved in "blatantly political anti-Israel activities". [7] Subsequent to this criticism, the Ford Foundation modified its policies regarding funding of NGOs.[8]

Its a democracy so every one is free there. If there is some one with a gun roaming around,he would be a wanted criminal. That does not and should not mean that the human rights are not effective.\ncomparitively,its more effective than most other countries.

Human Rights Watch is one organization that focuses on those issues worldwide.  So does Amnesty International.  \n\nMy favorite, though, is Freedom House, which reports on issues everywhere, rates freedom levels in each country, and updates frequently.

This is the best question I have seen on here. What a wonderful idea. When will the human rights activists start to realise that victims also have rights!! An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.

Yes.  The UN does have a position on this and has a group with a mandate to collect data  and recommend measures.\n\nYou can find more info at this UN website:\nhttp://www.un.org/rights/dpi1772e.htm

A clear distinction must be made between human rights and civil rights. \n\nHuman rights are inherent and inalienable, and are defined by universal documents (these rights, however, are often mainly given lip service, particularly by dictatorial regimes).\n\nCivil rights are those rights citizens of a nation have as a matter of constitutional guarantee. They cannot be violated by the authorities, and depending on the particular right, by other people. Civil rights can be abridged or even abrogated following conviction of a crime, however. \n\nNations beset with instability grant fewer civil rights to its citizens than stable, established democracies such as  in the US or UK.

Social work has always been subject to competing claims of definition and practice, as social workers, politicians, service users and policy makers have struggled to lay claims on what social work is, and what it might be.\n\nIn 2001, the International Association of Schools of Social Work and the International Federation of Social Work agreed the following definition:\n\nThe social work profession promotes social change, problem-solving in human relationships, and the empowerment and liberation of people to enhance well-being. Utilising theories of human behaviour and social systems, social work intervenes at points where people interact with their environments. Principles of human rights and social justice are fundamental to social work ( IASSW (International Association of Schools of Social Work), 2001).\n\nWhatever the legitimate or validated notion of social work is seen to be, from other perspectives, social work can be seen to be an agent of social control. Far from addressing the inequalities with which we live, it may well play an important role in sustaining or perpetuating the very social and economic system which promotes such inequalities. Rather than liberating, it can be viewed as oppressive and for that reason not true to the core values on which it claims to be based (Jordan and Parkinson, 2001; Jordan, 2004).

The world can be a better place if we could all just recognize that everyone has more similarities than they do differences. If we could put a face and feelings to the people we tend to hate. If we could try to understand where people are coming from and why they feel the way they do before we judge them. The world would be a better place if we realized that every single person on earth has come to view things exactly as they do as a result of both their past experience and what they have been taught. Rather than persecute them for those views, we could offer them new experiences or teachings on which to base their views of the future.

The United Nations' Universal declaration of Human rights contains that passage.\nhttp://www.un.org/Overview/rights.html

The Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) is a department of the United Nations Secretariat. It is mandated to promote and protect the enjoyment and full realization, by all people, of all rights established in the Charter of the United Nations and in international human rights laws and treaties. The mandate includes preventing human rights violations, securing respect for all human rights, promoting international cooperation to protect human rights, coordinating related activities throughout the United Nations, and strengthening and streamlining the United Nations system in the field of human rights. In addition to its mandated responsibilities, the Office leads efforts to integrate a human rights approach within all work carried out by United Nations agencies.
