Human rights

The mankind have been dealing with many kinds of abuses for ages. Now, the list of Human Rights Issues is extensive and contains such matters as Disability and Human Rights, Rasism, Youth, Slavery, Freedom of Religion and Belief and many more. At daily basis one may face the problem of not treating people adequately and it does not only concern phisical harassments.
The main obstacle to enhance the situation seems to be the lack of awarness and indifferentism to human dignity. What is worth noticing is that not only those who are injurious to others appear oblivious, but also the victims frequently do not know their rights. This leads us to the position where abuses on every continent became a silent plague. They are so numerous that scientists and sociologists gave up preparing statistics.
All the solutions of the problem should begin not with taking legal actions but with increasing the status of knowlegde, as everyone is a potential victim. Human rights are rights inherent to all human beings, whatever our nationality sex, colour, religion, language, or any other feature is. We are all equally entitled to them without discrimination. These rights are all interrelated, interdependent and indivisible.
Universal human rights are often expressed and guaranteed by law, in the forms of treaties, customary law, general principles. International human rights law lays down obligations of Governments to act in certain ways or to refrain from certain acts, in order to protect human rights and fundamental freedoms of individuals or groups.
Unfortunately, as all abovementioned sources seemed not to be enough, new non-governmental organisations have been constituted. Among them Amnesty International, Helsinki Fundation of Human Rights, Human Rights Watch, International Court of Justice. These organisations are to publish various cases of human abuses in media forcing particular countries to act. Also, they take part in the process of decision making, they prepare reports, in example, for United Nations. The effectiveness is diversed but without their effort the mankind would be in even more difficult position.
Summing up, the war againt human rights violations seems to be endless. In spite of that, many sources are rightly used to protect us from suffering. The only way to, at least, mitigate the number of abuses is not to give up the persistent try to augment peoples awarness of how serious that matter is.
