Does land acquisition for public interest in Indonesia violate human rights? Land is a treasure on earth that in the entire history of human civilization unceasingly provide a complicated problem. This is logical, given that land is the most important factor in determining the production of every phase of civilisation (reference). The Indonesian government also has a lot of land problems, as a developing country that focuses on infrastructure development, the availability of land becomes very…

The publication of The Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948 signified an opportunity to prosper for the nations involved. Thomas Jefferson articulated the relationship between the government and its people as one that should “care [for] human life and happiness, and not their destruction, for it is the first and only object of a good government” (“Thomas Jefferson”). All human beings, regardless of nationality, ethnicity, religion, or any other discriminatory category are equally…

Human rights have a part in everyone’s life. There are approximately 10 core articles that are part of the Human Rights Act. Article 1: every human being is born with the same rights. Article 2: includes basic rights and freedom, no matter the nationality, gender, race colour, sex, language, political or non political opinion, property birth or religion. Every person is equally entitled to have human rights without receiving discrimination for it. Article 3: every human being has the right to…

Human rights, as they relate to business, have not and cannot be realized through legal compliance alone. Throughout much of human history laws have changed, from the prosecution of Jews in Nazi Germany, to South Africa’s apartheid, to the US’ housing bubble, leaving room to doubt that our current system of laws correlates with a universally just moral code. Because the world that we live is forever changing so too are our morals, and if human rights are to be respected everywhere societal…

inequality, an epidemic in the United States, takes root in legislative failure, free market capitalism, and “black helicopter” conservative government mentality. The United States, an exception to the remainder of the developed world, does not have universal healthcare and generates healthcare inequality through treating healthcare as a commodity. These inequalities stem from the idea that low-income individuals deserve to be low-income and that…

Various human rights organizations have established and prioritized health care as a right to all humans. This idea—health care as a right to all—is not new. After World War II, there was a need to amply define human rights, which were clearly violated by Nazi Germany. So in 1948, the “Universal Declaration of Human Rights” was created, validating a myriad of declarations that would hopefully make the world a much more habitable place. From Article 25 of the Declaration: “Everyone has the right…

Advancing International Human Rights to Protect against Discrimination Based on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity and Protecting the Rights of Migrant Workers are the two issues before the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC). In April 2014, the Supreme Court acknowledged how transgender is a third gender and asked the government to treat them as a minority. The UNHRC adopted a resolution related to sexual orientation and gender identity with India taking the position of abstain.…

Aquinas, he believes in precepts such as “do harm to no one” and “return what is borrowed” (Fasching, DeChant, & Lantigua, 2011). These precepts could be seen throughout the text in ways that one should treat others with respect. The Declaration of Human Rights by the World’s Religions compares to Aquinas theories by Article 5, which states, “No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment…no one shall subject anybody to such treatment”. This…

Is America advanced morally? There is a high value placed on human rights in the United States. This is proven through the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which spells out the entitlements of the people. The American government not only protects these rights, but the rights of their allies and other lesser developed nations. We fight for what is right and we send aid to the those in need. There are several instances of unfortunate disasters that America…

for women’s rights and her first speech was called “How dare the Taliban take away my basic right to education?”. A year later Yousafzai began a blog for BBC about life under the Taliban.

Following the attack, Yousafzai has continued to fight for women’s rights and gave…
