Human Rights

Lot’s of countries in the world do not have human rights and abuse it. Through out the years, It has become a very big probblem. Every person is entitiled to Human rights because is gives them:

• The right to live as every human should
• The power to vote for a politician of their choice
• Freedom of speech
• Treated equally to others
• The right to have food
• the right to work
• the right to be educated.
• The right to live in peace

The Place’s that have abused human rights the most are:

Darfur: The conflict started between two main rebel groups in Sundan for land and grazing rights. Then several other groups formed and started to fight. After that, the citizens lived in fear of being killed due to the rebel attack. They fled away from Darfur in order to save their lives. During the conflict more than two million people were forced to flee away from their homes. This is a very good example of human rights violation

Iraq: Suddam Hussein who was the president of iraq for 35 years, also violated the Human rights. He would kill anyone that did not vote for him in the elections. People lived in fear of being killed so they had to vote for him.

Tibet: The chinese government believes that the Dalai Lama is trying to split Tibet from China. However, he assured that he wanted Tibet as an autonomy state of China. Tibetans demanded for culture and political rights which they never got. Therefore there is always a fight between Tibetans and the chinese Government. Thousands of Tibetans flee away from Tibet to India, to save their lives, where The Dalai Lama has set up a refuge camp.

Burma is now run by a military leader. He has violated human rights aswell. Because of him, the people of Burma are afraid to speak what they think otherwise the military leader will kill them.

There are many people and organisations that try to help stop the Human rights from being violaed.Some of these people are:
Dalai Lama who is fight for religious and political freedom in Tibet. He has adopted a non-violence approach.
Aung San Suu Kyi has been under house arrest for several years, but is still fighting for political rights of the Burmese people.
The United nation consist of 191 different contries from around the world. The UN is the biggest organisation that is fight Human right violators.

World vision is a similar organisation to the UN but instead of fight the Human rights violators, they provide food and clean water for the violated people.
