Advocacy on Human Rights

Introduction

The question whether International Regimes can uphold the rights of an individual , a group , nations , or the present 21st century and the next generations may have two answers it could be yes or no . Before we answer the question let us first define international regimes , the human person based on the universal definition , and human rights

and dignity .With the above definitions we must also determine whether these international regimes can be credible as far as with regards on how they will respond in authority , power , and service . In other words , will these international regimes be respected for what they say ? Are the words and actions of the men in these regimes be counted for that they will not succumb even to the slightest symptoms of ethical egotism Will the rights of every man still be respected if their own interests are at stake ? These are the many questions that a common man will think just in case a greater power than his or her government can take over or vice versa

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights

UDHR , the ICCPR , ICESR believes that program of actions should be carried out to formulate or confirm the moral of the universe with regards to human rights based on the convictions universally shared by men . With this principle it says that UDHR is a foundation of human rights for which article one and two declares that all man has equal rights and dignity and are all free . This year is the 60th year commemorating the universal declaration of a document claiming to be first written in history to safeguard against oppression . However , if one takes a look at the past or the present the document are just an echo of what is everything written in the hearts of men about his dignity and own personhood

The document only represents or reconfirm what is in the hearts of every human persons who are endowed with intellect , a human soul , freewill and choice . Since it only a confirms , it can not held anybody belonging to a certain group , ethnicity or language to make an allegiance to it since one 's loyalty are already subjected to his or her lawful country

What is man ? Why he suffers

The definition above indicates that man is a very rational creature who possesses responsibility base on a free choice which he or she can choose to be happy or not , to tolerate injustice or fight for his freedom , free to give self to another person or remains to be alone in his or her selfish end . According to religion man is created in the image and likeness of God and in Christianity man is bought at a great price , the blood of God Himself . For these reason man 's life is not just a passing scene but someone who is loved by a complete being who is never lacking in love and is perfectly happy in Himself . That explicitly differentiates a man from a mere animal and explains why man being created without him knowing or wanting to be born was place to test in to gain what is promised . A gift which no one have seen entirely until death but has a glimpse even in this life . Man is a creature capable of being loved thus , dignity is only given towards a person who is esteemed since nobody can give anything good to someone he hated ? Man 's justification is fulfilled if he or she is loved

The tenets of human rights for these international regimes confirm the cultural , socio-political and economic aspect of human life thus aimed to bridge the gap between the rich and the poor , the dignity of women and children , and respect for life . However , history had made manifested that this ideals are a utopia since humankind continue to suffer . As the old saying goes that the rich becomes richer and it is the mighty who rules the world taken for instance the global corporations of today with regards to labor , even corporations due to judicial activism becomes a person and so on . Poverty remained to be on the face of the earth although technology had flourished to which only few can attain the possibility of enjoying them . There is ignorance and injustice despite of the fact that man was called to subdue the earth

Man in other words continues to suffer especially the discriminated and marginalized nations or the so called fourth world meaning people who live in absolute poverty . Despite of the good intentions of many local and even international regimes , life is never a path that is easy to thread on that man 's journey continuous to be a perilous pilgrimage . Man even if free indeed follows a higher law or what we call moral norms which specifically tells him that freedom does not mean doing only what he wanted to do but tells him what is supposed to be done . With the use of freedom men either lived harmoniously among the rest or be in chaos with each other . Sufferings and injustices are born by the greed of men and happiness is the fruit of being able to serve or the ability of becoming useful

Authority , Power , and Service

The universal declaration or the confirmation of the rights due to man is a sublime humanitarian act but should not go beyond the intent of having or bearing a control on anybody since each civilization or culture are govern by beliefs and tradition distinct to its own . Each man has the authority to make sure that the natural and moral laws are progressively followed for that reason that even in courthouses criminal acts are considered an action against the people of a certain nation

Every nation institutions has the power to inscribe in his subjects what only is just since human institutions are present only to protect that right . However , those governing institution should remain a servant because the moment they set their foot authoritatively , those institutions have acted against the freedom of their people thus becoming a tyrant on the rights of men . Human authorities no matter how sublime are the same human and cannot be expected to be higher than the other men for doing so is against what it has already stated in the principle . Man over another man is always subject for abuse . If authority becomes higher than men it no longer serves what it was intended for

Conclusion

Man in this visible world continuous to seek the unsearchable and unknowable God and define reasons of his very own existence . He asks himself about his own dignity and own rights with the rest of other men which shows evidence that those thoughts could have been inscribed by someone who gave to creation
