What actually constitutes an infringement of Human rights.?
814081
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, nationality, and sex. As is evident in the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, human rights, at least in the post-war period, are conceptualized as based on inherent human dignity, retaining their universal and inalienable character.\n\nThe existence, validity and the content of human rights continue to be the subject to debate in philosophy and political science. Legally, human rights are defined in international law and covenants, and further, in the domestic laws of many states. However, for many people the doctrine of human rights goes beyond law and forms a fundamental moral basis for regulating the contemporary geo-political order. For them, they are democratic ideals.\n\nContents [hide]\n1 Human rights legislation \n2 History \n2.1 International bodies \n2.2 Regional legislation \n3 History of human rights \n4 Philosophy of human rights \n4.1 Types of human rights \n4.2 Justification of human rights \n5 Violations of human rights \n5.1 Monitoring \n5.2 Protection and promotion \n5.3 Non-governmental and multilateral organizations \n6 Notes \n7 See also \n8 References \n9 External links \n9.1 Human rights organizations \n \n\n\n[edit] Human rights legislation\nWhere it has been adopted, human rights legislation commonly contains:\n\nsecurity rights that protect people against crimes such as murder, massacre, torture and rape \nliberty rights that protect freedoms in areas such as belief and religion, association, assembling and movement \npolitical rights that protect the liberty to participate in politics by expressing themselves, protesting, participating in a republic \ndue process rights that protect against abuses of the legal system such as imprisonment without trial, secret trials and excessive punishments \nequality rights that guarantee equal citizenship, equality before the law and nondiscrimination \nwelfare rights (also known as economic rights) that require the provision of education and protections against severe poverty and starvation \ngroup rights that provide protection for groups against ethnic genocide and for the ownership by countries of their national territories and resources \nSee International human rights instruments.\n\n\n[edit] History\n \nEleanor Roosevelt with the Spanish text of the Universal Declaration in 1949Appalled by the barbarism of the Second World War, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948. While not legally binding, it urged member nations to promote a number of human, civil, economic and social rights, asserting these rights are part of the "foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world". The declaration was the first international legal effort to limit the behaviour of states and press upon them duties to their citizens following the model of the rights-duty duality.\n\nMany states wanted to go beyond the declaration of rights and create legal covenants which would put greater pressure on states to follow human rights norms. Because some states disagreed over whether this international covenant should contain economic and social rights (which usually require a greater effort to fulfill on the part of individual states), two treaties were prepared.\n\nIn 1966 and 1976 respectively, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights came into force. With the Universal Declaration of Human Rights these documents form the International bill of rights.\n\n\n    ...recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world     \n—Preamble to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, 1948\n \n\nSince then several other pieces of legislat

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.

Human rights are not observed in Iran. The only way to chsnge is for the communities to demand that change as a group. They did it once when they overthrew the Shah, who was a GOOD man, even though they turned out to regret it. They can do it again and this time they need to realize Islamic ways are false and missleading.

Human Rights violations in Alberta are handled by the Human Rights Commission, not the courts.  You don't need a lawyer.  If you aren't having any success with the Human Rights Commission, then maybe you don't have a valid complaint.

The Human Rights Act was passed in the UK in 1998 to bring UK Law into line with the European Convention on Human Rights.\n\nFor the first time civil and political rights became enforceable under British Law.\n\nThe European Convention on Human Rights was born out of the chaos of the Second World War.\n\nBritish lawyers and civil servants were heavily involved in its drafting. The United Kingdom was one of the first countries to sign up to the Convention in 1953.\n\n45 countries have now signed up to the Convention including most of the east European, former communist countries and several countries that were once part of the Soviet Union. \n\nThe countries that have signed up to the Convention make up the Council of Europe. The Council of Europe is quite separate from the European Union.

there are inalienable human rights, agreed upon in the Geneva Conventions, that apply to all humans.  Though they may ultimately be executed, they are afforded the right to due process.  This prevents using some label like "terrorist" to rob just about anyone of their rights and have them killed.  Like in the days of the Salem witch hunts- all you had to do was call someone out as a witch, and they lost all their rights and were burned at the stake.  If terrorists had no rights by law, then if the system wanted someone destroyed, all you have to do is accuse them or frame them as terrorists and you've got them canned.  At least with due process, the system would have to really spend a heck of a lot of time and effort on pushing a falsely-accused person through the system.  It's always doable, but with due process, framing someone is harder to pull off and there are a lot more chances for the plot to unfold.\n\nWhen people defend human rights rollbacks by saying "if you're not a terrorist, you have nothing to fear!" it's not true.  We're founded on the principle that we have the right to overthrow our government if it fails to work for the people (Declaration of Independance) and if due process is taken away, we lose that power because the government can annhialate anyone they perceive as a threat.  I hate to sound like some sort of extremist or anarchist, which I'm not, but let's not forget our founding documents and what concepts this country was built on.

If it's a civil rights issue, seek a referral from your local ACLU chapter...other matters, I'd need at least a vague idea of the issue before I could point you in any useful direction.

It does perturb me that the government is keeping secrets involving human rights abuses, especially if the government is violating the civil liberties of its own citizenry under the pretext of national security.  After all, most dictatorial regimes started with the slow and increasing curtailing of civil rights among their own population.\n\nI understand certain locations and points of interest cannot be divulged to the public out of a need to preserve the strategic integrity of clandestine efforts, but to not at least inform the public in a general way of the machinations of this government is disturbing.

It is definately a violation of people's rights, I can understand for a school or something of that nature, BUT the cases you are hearing about on the news are of companies/ city governments trying to make a profit.  To me this is blatant thievery, and something needs to be done soon. This is one of the reasons we have the right to bear arms.

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.

My response would be it sounds like corruption, which is universal to all governments, there are similar incidents I can think of here in the USA and my own state, I'm not proud of it of course. At some point you have to decide what is the most important to you, if you will do yourself more harm than good by pursuing this. I hate to say give in, but they play by different rules there, you could be subjected to police harassment as a result, and I can honestly say I'm very glad I don't live there. You had better stay in touch with human rights groups like "Amnesty International" just in case bad things do happen. All I can suggest is try and have copies of all evidence hidden in a save place the police can't confiscate them, and watch your back.

For the people that don't know what that is:\n\nhttp://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/data/constitution/amendment04/\n The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.\n\nIt really is sad to see those soldiers fighting for freedom when freedom is being taken away.
