No religious state is observant of human rights.  The rights of humans as human beings begins with separating religion from the state.  People cannot be forced to participate in or contribute to a religion that they do not believe in, and cannot be prevented from practicing a religion that they believe in.  When the state demands that all its people practice a religion and forbids any other, it not only is violating human rights, but is totalitarian and dictatorial.\n\nThat is why the US Constitution's list of things that are forbidden to the government begins right away with "Congress shall pass no law establishing a religion, nor prohibit the free exercises thereof."\n\nOther human rights that a government is wrong to prohibit include but are not limited to: freedom of speech, of the press, of peaceable assembly, and to petition the government for the redress of grievances.\n\nYou will find more information on the rights of humans here:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_of_Rights\n\nI don't think Iran meets the criteria for a state that recognizes human rights, and I don't think that it recognizes that it doesn't.

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.

The term "human rights" generally refers to the basic protections that most civilized countries afford.\n\nThe most common include freedom from slavery, freedom to marry who you choose, freedom of expression and worship, freedom to own property, freedom from torture and persecution, and so on.\n\nThe details vary by country and applicable law, but the basic idea is that people should be allowed to live their lives in such a way as they choose, as long as they don't harm others in the process.\n\nSadly, many countries (including the US recently) have abandoned this concept in the name of conformity and security.

It is a list of international laws laid down by the UN council, it gives the fundamental rights which each human being deserves, including freedom of speech and education.  UN countries must work towards providing these rights for their citizens.

What makes you think you have a right to anything? \n\nSuggest reading Rights in the wikipedia.\n\n"There are two fundamental controversies surrounding the notion of rights: First, there is the question of the basis for rights (on what basis can rights be said to exist). Second, there is the question of the content of rights (what the rights of a person actually are)."\n\nWhat is a right?\n"At its most fundamental, a right is a claim, on other persons, that is acknowledged and perhaps reciprocated among the principals associated with that claim." \n \nWho granted  you these rights?

1. Freedom of religion - a person has the right to choose his religion and not to join a religion.\n\n2. Freedom of the press - the people has the right to air their grievances through an independent media.

my opinion will not change.  This is AMERICA -- why can't we open our arms/hearts/states/cities/neighborhoods, and allow them to have the same basic HUMAN rights that everyone has/wants, here in this country..... :::climbing off my soapbox:::

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.

Are you possibly referring to the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights?  Many countries have developed their own charters of rights and freedoms. \n\nI've included a few links that should help you.

'Natural' rights are those freedoms which we believe or arrange statutorily to be the same for all persons. This is an often misunderstood concept attributed to morality and religion. In reality, though, ALL rights which we have in society are statutory, in other words, determined by laws (either written or assumed rules). In quid-pro-quo fashion, we agree to behave as civilized people in exchange for the protection of societal advantages, such as not being killed for frivolous reasons, not being treated as less than other individual humans, etc. The strength of individual rights in a particular country hinges upon the overall integrity of that country's laws and communities, and resources to provide adequate living conditions for it's people. In other words, if a country is relatively stable and sustainable, its people will be able to maintain social contracts within it. If a community, province, country, or world has instabilities in supplies, overpopulation, inadequate legal structure or unbalanced power/trade, then the variations in resources, weapons, or attitudes will affect the ability of people within and around that area to conduct normal relations and enter into agreements on a fair basis, whether competitively or cooperatively.

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.

Natural law are the God given human rights.  Samuel Adams, the father of the American Revolution, elaborated that man has a right to life, liberty, and property in that order.  \n\nThese rights follow a sequential order and to deviate from that order would violate someone's human rights.  Take slavery for example.  The slaveholder would argue that the black person is their property.  The abolishionist would say they are a human being entitled to liberty.  Same with abortion.  Pro-abortionists would say the unborn is a part of the womans body, a mass of cell tissue.  Pro-lifers would say it is a living human being entitled to the right to life.\n\nThere are more details but this should suffice.  If you need to know more just let me know.  These principles are in our Constitution and Declaration of Independence.  It is too bad most Americans and people are too ignorant about natural law.  This is the foundation of civil rights.
