Definition of human rights:
In general sense human rights refer to a collection of basic rights of freedoms, believed to belong justifiably to all human beings.
They are considered to be universal, in alienable and inherit to all people
Cases: the Syrian revolution: this case shows human rights in terms of violating the essential rights, as the war started when al asaads forces cracked down on civilians demanding more freedoms and government reform, with alasaad trying to defend his rule against rebels. (ALSO USED IN STATE SOVERGINTY)
Developing recognition of human rights
1) The abolition of slavery:
In ancient world slavery was widely practiced. The romans referred to the slave as the tool those talks. Human beings therefore were treated as things or commodities to be bought and sold. From the time of the European colonial expansion from the 16th century native peoples were enslaved and Africans were abducted to work in the Americans.
In the United States the southern states depended on slave labor and these states were opposed to abolishing slavery. At the end of the American civil war the victorious north abolished slavery through the 13th amendment to the constitution of the United States, 89 years after Thomas Jefferson’s words on the equality of human beings.
In 1885 the general act of Brussels was the first international treaty to abolish slavery in 1989. It was directed particularly at the slave trade in Africa.in 1926 the slavery convention was passed. Under this convention slavery is defined: the status and condition of a person over whom any or all of the [power attaching to the right of ownership exercised.
In 1948 the UNDHR banned slavery and the 11956 convention recognized colonialism and apartheid as collective forms of slavery
However in 2005 the international labor organizations published a global alliance against forced labor finding that 9.5 MILLION FORCED LABOURERES WORKED IN ASIA.
