Universal Declaration of Human Rights

About:-human rights tribunal

Looking ahead to the inauguration of a new president of the United States, I began thinking about what sort of world we might want to create, and the initiatives we must undertake in order to see that vision become reality.

From my perspective it seemed logical that ensuring basic human rights tribunal for everyone on the planet needs to happen first. But the topic of human rights is quite broad in its nature, and I wondered if everyone's definition of human rights was the same. While the discussion has gone on for thousands of years, my research brought me to a fairly recent definition - one that was agreed to by world leaders after World War II and shortly after the birth of the United Nations.

United Nations Sixty-Three Years Hence

Founded in 1945 with just 51 original members, the United Nations has grown to include 192 members and has involved itself in a long list of international situations during that time. Peacekeeping forces have operated in many countries, witnessing countless acts of violence and dealing with extremes of poverty, social injustice and hunger. Though providing a positive influence in these arenas of conflict, the UN has met with mixed success in their charter to maintain peace.

Bible Distribution Leads To Human Rights Complaint


A complaint to the human rights tribunal of Ontario has been lodged over the distribution of Bibles to Grade 5 students by Gideons in the Niagara Region. Rene and Anna Chouinard contend that the public board should not have allowed the Gideons to hand out New Testaments over the past 12 years.

The Chouinards are self proclaimed Humanists who practice "a religion-free way of life guided by reason." Rene Chouinard said the school board should focus on education, not religion. "It's an education system, not a church," said Chouinard, whose lawyers first made a request to the board in December to rescind their policy. They have hired a St. Catherines law firm to handle their case.

In the meantime, last week the District School Board of Niagara changed its policy regarding the distribution of religious materials. All religious organizations are now allowed to distribute religious material outside classroom hours, at the discretion of the education director, principals and parent groups. In spite of the change in policy, the Chouinards are continuing their case. They want the distribution of all religious materials stopped completely.

While his main goal is to keep religious materials out of school, Chouinard has decided to test the new rule. He has made a request to the school board to distribute the humanist book, "Just Pretend: A Freethought Book for Children" to the Grade 5 students of Nelles School in Grimsby, where the Chouinard children attend.

Classification Of Human Rights

About:-human rights tribunal


human rights tribunal are great as they ensure that you are protected and safe as a human being. The rights are classified into five bases: civil, political, economic, developmental and social and cultural.

Civil Human liberties

Great advances in these liberties were made in the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries. During this time great amendments were made. The rights were combined with political liberties and they were collectively known as "liberty oriented human rights."

They aid in providing, protecting and guaranteeing you liberty against the state and its agencies. According to human right experts these are the first generation of human rights.

Economic Human Liberties

Major strides in these liberties were made in the 20th century. During this time the social and cultural liberties were also strengthened. The rights aid in promotion of economic and social security through economic and social upliftment of the weaker sections of the society.

The liberties are essential for the dignity of personhood. They are also essential for the full and free development of human personality. The cool thing with the rights is that they ensure that there is a minimum of economic welfare.

When the economic, social and cultural rights are combined together they are known as "security oriented human rights." This is because they collectively provide you with the security that you need in your life. Human right experts refer to them as second generation of human liberties.
