The Universal Declaration of Human Rights

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights



The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is a landmark document adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on December 10, 1948. It was drafted in response to the atrocities and human rights violations that occurred during World War II and is considered a foundational text in the field of human rights. The UDHR proclaims the fundamental rights and freedoms that are inherent to all human beings, regardless of race, color, religion, sex, language, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth, or other status.

The UDHR consists of 30 articles that cover a wide range of rights and principles. Some of the key rights enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights include:

  • 1. Right to equality and dignity: All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.

  • 2. Right to life, liberty, and security: Everyone has the right to life, liberty, and security of person.

  • 3. Prohibition of slavery and torture: No one shall be held in slavery or servitude; slavery and the slave trade shall be prohibited in all their forms. No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment.

  • 4. Right to recognition as a person before the law: All individuals are equal before the law and are entitled to equal protection of the law without any discrimination.

  • 5. Right to freedom of thought, conscience, and religion: Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience, and religion. This includes the freedom to change their religion or belief and the freedom to manifest their religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship, and observance.

  • 6. Right to freedom of opinion and expression: Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression, including the freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive, and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.

  • 7. Right to education: Everyone has the right to education. Education should be free, at least in the elementary and fundamental stages. Primary education should be compulsory.

  • 8. Right to work and fair wages: Everyone has the right to work, to free choice of employment, to just and favorable conditions of work, and to protection against unemployment. Everyone who works has the right to just and favorable remuneration ensuring an existence worthy of human dignity.

These are just a few examples of the rights outlined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The document emphasizes the importance of these rights for all individuals and calls upon every individual, community, and nation to promote and respect these rights, striving to create a world where human beings can live in freedom, justice, and peace. The UDHR has served as the basis for the development of numerous human rights treaties and has been influential in shaping human rights law and policy worldwide.

JENNIFER'S CASE HAS A CASE FOR A PRESIDENTIAL PARDON

Image
  Jennifer Mee's case needs to be reviewed Jennifer Mee was sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole after being convicted of first degree murder in 2010. She was 19 at the time.  The case Jennifer set up a date with a young man whom she had contacted on Facebook but with the intention of robbing him. Her two male friends carried out the robbery and it was during this process that one of them shot the victim. Jennifer did not ever intend for this to happen. There are three factors that need to be considered in cases involving murder because not all cases are the same. There are factors which need to be considered are determining factors in sentencing. I have come up with a list: 1. Was it premeditated/intentional? 2. Was any malice involved? 3. Was revenge a factor? The answer to these questions in Jennifer's case is, "No." Another question is, "Who's responsible for the discharge of a firearm?" Is it the person who is in possessi

SOCIAL STATUS & AMERICAN SENTENCING

Image
Sentencing based on social standing At high school when someone got the cane or strap, the other kids would make fun of the person if they were not that popular but if they were popular among their peers then after getting the strap or cane it would always  be, "Mr so and so is a w*****. It is the same in real life where people get treated according to their personality, attractiveness, and their social status.  As far as the American justice system is concerned, I think it would be extremely simplistic to say "Everyone is treated the same way," and the various sentences handed down by judges reflects this. The sentencing of Jennifer Mee is a prime example. She was convicted of first degree murder. What was her crime? She participated in a fatal robbery and all those who took part in a robbery where someone dies are equally guilty of murder whether were directly or indirectly involved in the death. As far as Jennifer's situation is concerned, it app

Just what is the meaning of intent?

Just what is the meaning of intent? Written by R. A. Stewart In the United States a person can be sent to prison for the rest of their life for a murder they did not commit and for a death that had no intent involved. How? In many states any person who is involved in a crime which leads to a person’s death can be charged with first degree murder.  Whether they had anything to do with the death or not it does not matter. Just being a party to the crime makes them equally guilty of murder as the one who committed the actual murder. It all boils down to who's responsible for the fatality and whether the actions of another contributed to another person’s death. This is called the “Felony rule.”  You do not even have to be responsible for the person’s death to be responsible for their death; if you just idly stood by and did nothing while others attacked and killed someone then your inaction caused another person’s death and therefore it means you are partly responsible for the fata
