Universal Declaration Of Human Rights In Elie Wiesel's Night

According to the Human Rights Website, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is an international document that states basic rights and fundamental freedoms to which all human beings are entitled. There are 30 basic rights that every human should be entitled to. Out of the 30 laws, 3 of them stood out the most to me. Article 9 which is that no one should be forced to be arrested or detention if there is no evidence that they committed the crime or should not be exiled from their native country. Article 11 is that everyone should be presumed innocent until proven guilty in a public trial and they shall not be held guilty of any penal offense. Article 12 is that everyone has the protection of the law against interference with privacy,
I should never be separated from my family as I am protected by Human Rights. Article 12 protects me from an interference of my family. I should never be separated from my family no matter what, but in “Night” it’s a different story. Article 12 is violated by purposely separating the family members. “An SS came toward us wielding a club. He commanded: “Men to the left! Women to the right!” Eight words were spoken quietly, indifferently, without emotion. Eight simple, short words. Yet that was the moment when I left my mother.

I didn’t know that this was the moment in time and the place where I was leaving my mother and Tzipora forever. I kept walking, my father holding my hand.” (Page
Human Rights are violated daily, just that they aren’t really given much attention, that is when the violation is minor. Not every violation is given much attention, but they all should be given attention even if it is minor. Something like Guantanamo Bay was given attention, although not that many people still don’t really know what is going on inside Guantanamo Bay. Although the number of prisoners has been reduced since opened on January 11, 2002, there is still some prisoners in there that might be innocent and don’t deserve to be tortured. According to an article named “Jailed without trial for Life?”, that there are more al-Qaeda and Taliban followers than there are leaders, but many prisoners there are innocent. They are innocent because a lot of the prisoners were just at the wrong place at the wrong time, and they are being held guilty because of that. Let’s keep in mind that these prisoners are suspected terrorists. Also, a lot of these prisoners are being held by Indefinite detention. According to Wikipedia, Indefinite detention is the incarceration of a person by law enforcement or national government without trial. Indefinite detention violates national and international laws, and also human rights. Guantanamo Bay violates many Human Rights two of them are Article 9 and Article 11. “Many prisoners held at Guantanamo have a lack of evidence to
