Week Three Reaction Paper
Week Three Reaction Paper
In this collection of reading, I learnt about where human rights is really needed for and how it is not being utilized sometimes as per the need, it should be used at the places where there is a real need for it. Human rights is not someone’s product. Those who usually stands for the human rights were not welcomed in society in those days, like Mr. Lou Henkin. And those who have been really denied human rights will know the value of human rights and it does make much sense to them. It is not that we do not need human rights today just because we have democracy, there are many things which still needs to be solved with the help of human rights.1
Those in history who lived under communism didn’t had much knowledge about human rights and they were fighting for certain provisions of the invader’s constitution but slowly they started to claim things which were important like, food instead of freedom and human rights came along. Helsenki agreement with its strong sentence, ‘That every person has right to know his rights’ had a good effect on many nations as they started monitoring human rights in their territories.2
Human rights flourished due to turning points like Pinochet’s extradition, emergency in India, Amnesty receiving the Noble Peace Prize, all these showing the value or the importance of human rights. Freedom is important to give feedback to those who are violating the human rights because many of them usually do not know the consequences of their doings. Human rights sometimes used by powerful nations towards smaller nations with many promises just to achieve their purposes, and when their purposes are achieved, all those promises fade away.3
Human rights has also failed in many ways, towards poverty, minorities and stateless, universality problem, personal freedom, selective enforcement, international politics and human rights, etc. Therefore it was given different status in different states, yet human rights always makes sense
