Those who have been outspoken in advocating human rights during these last forty years, have themselves grabbed the most fundamental of human rights from the people of the Third-World countries.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I am passionate about human rights.
Human rights is something that wasn't hard to be inspired to write about because there have been so many violations of those rights.
Fundamental violations of human rights always lead to people feeling less and less human.
The issue of human rights is one of the most fundamental human issues and also one of the most sensitive and controversial.
To deny people their human rights is to challenge their very humanity.
Human rights are not worthy of the name if they do not protect the people we don't like as well as those we do.
The U.S. government engages with many countries around the world in official dialogues on human rights.
The core of human rights work is naming and shaming those who commit abuses, and pressuring governments to put the screws to abusing states. As a result, human rights conventions are unique among international law instruments in depending for their enforcement mostly on the activism of a global civil society movement.
The first piece of advice I would have from my experience is that governments need to be vocal about human rights.
I'm pretty political when it comes to human rights and things like that.
