World War II had many outcomes, but not all of them affect the world today. Part of the outcomes that do affect the world today are affecting the world in different ways, for example the cold war, war crimes, division of Germany. One of the most important ones is the creation of UDHR (Universal Declaration of Human Rights), but one can argue that the most important one is is the creation of Israel. Israel is very impactful today as it affects the world politically, economically and socially, and the UDHR is supposed to prevent discrimination, slavery, and inequality. The UDHR was formed on December 1948, (History of the Document) three years after the war ended.
These human rights 'instruments', as they are called, have fixed how many rights apply to particular groups of human beings such as women or children. They have also come up with new ideas that were not part of the thinking of those who first drafted the Universal Declaration. The link between human rights and other pillars is clearly evident all the way through the UDHR. First, it allows, in the Preamble, that the credit of the unchallengeable rights of all people is the groundwork of freedom, justice and peace across the world. Secondly, it expands the UN Charter’s stated purpose of encouraging growth by giving economic, social and cultural rights the in the same degree of safety that an individual finds for civil and political rights (Marshall
Eleanor Roosevelt's role in the creation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights allowed an international body to recognize man's inalienable rights which had never been done before. The UDHR is a culmination of everything that ER stood for in writing. A perfect way to describe the UDHR is “to this day as the most widely recognized statement of the rights to which every person on our planet is entitled (6).” This document, though, was not just magically agreed upon by all of these different countries, it was a massive undertaking. President Truman was a huge advocate for human rights and the UDHR.
Human rights, something that was written down for the world after the catastrophic second world war. Most know of the genocide of ethnic groups that were deemed inferior to Nazi Germany more specifically Jews, which were senselessly exterminated in camps such as Auschwitz and Birkenau. After the war the newly formed United Nations voted and passed The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) in 1948, under this declaration lists thirty unalienable rights shared by all human beings. However, these rights can’t be actualized for everyone on the planet, both before and after the UDHR was written. The reasons being is that firstly, when people are pressed into a survival situation they are not thinking about the rights of everyone, but instead
How could someone kill or torture so many people for being a certain race? To start with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights outlines the 30 rights every person is given and they can not be taken away. These rights are not obeyed during the holocaust. Eliezer Wiesel, a Holocaust survivor is one of many jews that is experiencing the dehumanization by the Germans.
The “Four Freedoms” was the main reason why the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was developed. “The Declaration was drafted over two years by the Commission on Human Rights, chaired by former First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt.” (“The Four Freedoms” 1). It was adopted on December 10, 1948 and is known to be “one of the most widely translated documents in the world” (“The Four Freedoms” 1). This declaration insists that all rights be upheld by governments and people to secure basic human rights (“The Four Freedoms”
In the 1800s, slavery in the South was common. African Americans were treated so horribly that they got whipped and beaten as a punishment. They were even allowed to have basic human rights. Basic human rights include having the right to have freedom and control of yourself. For example, in Document 1: A Speech by Frederick Douglas (1850), it says "The law gives the master absolute power over the slave."
Moreover, this article also ensures that people receive the same remuneration for equal work. The other human right worth protecting is the Article 7-Right to Equality before the Law.
The Declaration of Independence and The Constitution of the United States are a summarization of how the United States is to be represented and the liberties it gives to all its citizens of its freedoms. Nowadays, the Government doesn’t withhold or handle its citizens as The Constitution and Declaration of Independence state it to nor do the citizens comprehend their legal rights. The Declaration of Independence states that the rights to the people is life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness and that right is not to be violated. The Constitution states, all citizens have the right to bear arms. This amendment of The Constitution and rights of the people from The Declaration of Independence seem to have become the most violated and misunderstood
Human rights were initiated for the protection of the basic civil and political liberties in the general public. In the United Kingdom the Human Rights Act of 1998 came into force in October 2000. The aim of the HRA in the UK was to provide further legal effect to the basic rights and freedoms contained in the European Convention of Human Rights. The rights contained in the HRA not only affect essential matters of life and death, but also issues that occur in people 's daily life. Considering the broad range of basic rights covered, it is not astonishing that the HRA is viewed as one of the most significant segments of legislation ever passed in the UK.
On December 9, 1948, as the United States was approaching a proposal towards the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which seemed unfair and uncompromised, first lady, Eleanor Roosevelt displayed a motivational and moving speech to allow the citizens of America to come together as one to make the best of the situation that was proposed in front of them. The analysis of the tingling speech on the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, will explore the deep rhetorical devices used to compel the audience and America, including the true purpose and background of this particular eye-opening speech. In paragraph 1, it reads, “Not every man nor every government can have what he wants in a document of this kind. There are of course particular provisions in the Declaration before us with which we are not fully satisfied.”
United Nations the work with children’s rights continued. In 1948 the document was enlarged into seven paragraphs, entitled the 1948 Declaration of the Rights of the Child, which replaced the Declaration of Geneva. In addition to what was stated in the earlier document, this declaration stated that the child should be provided social welfare and social security. The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of the Child was adopted by the General Assembly in 1959. This Declaration consists of a preamble and the number of principles had now increased to ten.
Correspondingly, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights depend on dignity, equality and mutual respect – regardless of your nationality, your religion or your beliefs. Your rights are tied in with being dealt with reasonably and treating others decently, and being able to make on decisions about your own life. These fundamental human rights are: Universal; They have a place with every one of us; They can't be detracted from us, Indivisible and independent Governments should not have the capacity to choose
