What\u00a0<em>are<\/em>\u00a0human rights?\u00a0 Below is a quote from the\u00a0<em>Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy<\/em>\u00a0that you might consider:<\/p>\n<p>Human rights are international norms that help to protect all people everywhere from severe political, legal, and social abuses. Examples of human rights are the right to freedom of religion, the right to a fair trial when charged with a crime, the right not to be tortured, and the right to engage in political activity. These rights exist in morality and in law at the national and international levels. They are addressed primarily to governments, requiring compliance and enforcement. The main sources of the contemporary conception of human rights are the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (United Nations, 1948b) and the many human rights documents and treaties that followed in international organizations such as the United Nations, the Council of Europe, the Organization of American States, and the African Union. The philosophy of human rights addresses questions about the existence, content, nature, universality, justification, and legal status of human rights. The strong claims made on behalf of human rights (for example, that they are universal, or that they exist independently of legal enactment as justified moral norms) frequently provoke skeptical doubts and countering philosophical defenses. Reflection on these doubts and the responses that can be made to them has become a sub-field of political and legal philosophy with a substantial literature.\u00a0 SOURCE:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/plato.stanford.edu\/entries\/rights-human\/\">Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The challenge of generating a \u201cdefinitive\u201d definition is great, and perhaps the best definition is provided by the United Nations\u2019\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/documents\/udhr\/index.shtml\"><em>The Universal Declaration of Human Rights<\/em><\/a>.\u00a0This declaration is comprised of a preamble and thirty points, that attempt to clearly define the parameters of what comprises of \u201chuman rights.\u201d\u00a0 One might reduce those points to a handful of words, such as those listed in the image below.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\">\n<div id=\"attachment_165\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-165\" src=\"http:\/\/cyberspacerobinson.org\/courses\/cw2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/human-rights-620x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"291\" height=\"481\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-165\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-165\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">This is Edgar, my nephew\u2019s cat.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Does this reduction of the United Nations\u2019\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/about-us\/universal-declaration-of-human-rights\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>The Universal Declaration of Human Rights<\/em><\/a>\u00a0to 32 words reduce the meaning of\u00a0<em>human rights<\/em>, or does this list enhance the meaning? Perhaps the real problem in understanding what human rights are is a problem of language?\u00a0 My personal idea of the basic human right for free speech, for example, may be very different from yours: am I violating my child\u2019s human rights if I do not allow that child to swear, or am I just teaching that child good manners? For another example: how does one define \u201cdignity\u201d or \u201crespect\u201d or even \u201cdemocracy\u201d? In the United States, alone, there is a wide spectrum of definition for each of these words, and when these words are expressed in other languages, the meanings can become even more complicated in translation. This complication is also a factor of culture. Consider, for example, the American cultural definition(s) of \u201cmovement\u201d and how that definition might differ in a geographically smaller country, such as Haiti or Japan. Consider the video, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.humanrights.com\/?gclid=CMzN7bCYs6YCFRZy5QodfAdvnw#\/what-are-human-rights\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">What are human rights?<\/a>\u201d provided by United for Human Rights. (Note: you have to scroll down the page to find it.)\u00a0 Perhaps it is because of this difficulty in simplifying definitions of these very abstract, broad concepts that\u2014as the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.humanrights.com\/?gclid=CMzN7bCYs6YCFRZy5QodfAdvnw#\/what-are-human-rights\">United for Human Rights<\/a>\u00a0video also states\u2014<a href=\"http:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/documents\/udhr\/index.shtml\"><em>The Universal Declaration of Human Rights<\/em><\/a>\u00a0is little more than a piece of paper (it is not universal law). This is because parts of the declaration conflicts with established laws of various countries. Another problem is that many factions (of various countries) believe that this document is incomplete. For example, it does not specifically address the unique rights of children, and it does not recognize issues of gender and sexuality.<\/p>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-291 \" src=\"https:\/\/cyberspacerobinson.org\/courses\/research-writing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/q9a2hy3gt8671-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"496\" height=\"372\" \/><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-292 \" src=\"https:\/\/cyberspacerobinson.org\/courses\/research-writing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/84400310_797411927425241_1642305492950712320_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"428\" height=\"501\" \/><\/p>\n<h6><em><a href=\"https:\/\/unicorn-castle.org\/earlybritlit\/lesson-the-lenses-we-look-through-medievalism\/medievalism-government-and-human-rights\/#top\">Return to Top<\/a><\/em><\/h6>\n<hr \/>\n<h1 id=\"available\"><strong>Readily Available Materials<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>You should be able to access each of these by simply clicking on the link.
