Human Rights And Guarantees Without Discrimination

Human Rights and Guarantees without Discrimination

Introduction

Why has this work been done? Because human rights are inherent rights to all human beings, without any distinction of race, sex, nationality, ethnic origin, language, religion or any other condition. These rights correspond to all people, without any discrimination. 

Developing

The right to life and freedom. Everything can begin from article 3: Every individual has the right to life, freedom and security of his person. The words of this article are in the background of the world’s attempts to end the death penalty. Article 3 enshrines the right to life, the Anglican bishop South African Desmond Tutu said: "Taking a life when a life has been lost is revenge, no justice.’

The right to life has become one of the fundamental rights accepted by many countries;77 percent of the world’s constitutions include this right;In 1945, date on which the UN was founded, only 27 percent of the current Constitutions contained it. Article 3 covers much more than the prohibition of the death penalty. This article is essential to enjoy all other rights: after all, you have to be alive to exercise freedom of expression, marry or have a nationality.

This was stressed in a quasi -legal ‘general comment’ and published in October 2018 by the Human Rights Committee, made up of a group of independent experts that monitor the implementation of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, one of the two pacts thatDevelop the doubt.

 The issues covered by article 3 The document indicates that the obligation to protect, respect and guarantee the right to life covers other situations, including those related to new technologies, such as the use of drones in armed conflicts. Looking towards the future, the general comment establishes that environmental degradation, climate change and non -sustainable development represent serious threats to the ability of present and future generations to enjoy the right to life.

Some people have argued that article 3 covers many other issues: the lack of medical attention that leads to death, extrajudicial executions, including the use of ammunition by the police against anonymous protesters. Antonio Cançado Trinidade, then president of the Inter -American Court of Human Rights, wrote that “the arbitrary deprivation of life is not limited to the illegal act of homicide;It extends to the deprivation of the right to live with dignity.’

The right to life is developed in four UN treaties whose express purpose is to abolish the death penalty, and since 2007 the UN General Assembly has adopted five non -binding resolutions that require a global moratorium on executions as a step towardsThe final abolition. ‘There is no place for the death penalty in the 21st century,’ said former UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon. When Doubh was adopted on December 10, 1948, only 14 countries had abolished the death penalty. Seventy years later, more than two thirds of the UN Member States have done so and they no longer apply it. Even in countries that have a mandatory death penalty, it does not always apply through executions. At the end of March 2016, for example, the Deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia announced that 829 people had been sentenced to death between 2010 and March 2016, but that only 12 executions had been made during this time.

The majority of the nations that have abolished the death penalty have cited human rights as the main reason, while the increasing number of nations that retain the death penalty (88), or in fact execute people (39), avoid framing the death penalty as a human rights problem. However, threats to life not only come from state executors, but sometimes from the neighbor or couple, criminal gangs and armed groups, and in these cases the states have the obligation to protect their citizens.

The murders of women and girls (by their partners, by strangers, by parents who prefer children) also constitute a serious and very common abuse of this fundamental right, and women of all ages continue to sufferInadequate legal and physical protection by the authorities and institutions of the State. As Rashida Manjoo, former UN Special Rapporteur over violence against women, said: ‘Women undergoing continuous violence are always in the‘ death corridor, ’always with fear of being executed.’

conclusion

The right to life is the right that recognizes anyone for the simple fact of being alive, and that protects them from deprivation or other serious forms of attack against their life by other people or institutions, whether government or not. It is possible to carry out a foundation of the right to life from various approaches,
