According to Article 14 of the United Nations declaration of Human Rights (UNGA, 1948) ‘everyone has the right to seek and to enjoy in other countries asylum from persecution’. So why doesn’t the word ‘everyone’ really mean what It is supposed to? The following text will demonstrate the international and domestic laws based on the establishment of Refugee detention centres.

Political crimes suspects are therefore at a particular risk of arbitrary treatment, and left without protection.

The bill allows people to be preventatively arrested and held in detention by police if the person is suspected of committing terrorist activities, even without an arrest warrant, for up to seven days (CUPE 2). Allowing the police force to preventatively arrest a member of the public would obviously lead to many arbitrary arrests, as the arrests would be largely dependent on opinions that can easily be swayed. This violates the Universal Declaration of Human Rights where it is stated, “No one…

• The enforcement of these laws can be discriminatory as it is based purely on the moralistic behaviour of the enforcing authorities. These laws are strongly enforced against the weak and middle class people rather than uniform application that will include the upper class people. It is the people who have been arrested once for a crime who can be rearrested again for the same crime instead of any other person.

Firstly, in North Korea, the government rules over the people, and separates themselves from them, thinking they are better than them—stage 1: Classification. The family of Kim Jong-un and the communist party has set themselves apart—or rather, above—the majority. Secondly, the government dehumanizes the people, by putting them in concentration camps with conditions unfit for even animals—step 3: Dehumanization (Allen). Next, even though it seems blatantly obvious that what the communists are…

Those who speak out against the government are subjected to arbitrary arrest, torture, and death, which is a violation of articles nine, five, and three.
