Happy #humanrights day everyone. It's unfortunate that the state diminishes those rights every day. We have to work for those rights if we want to have them. #universaldeclarationofhumanrights
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, 1948 represented a milestone in the recognition of the universal rights of every human being following the unprecedented horrors and mass expulsion of World War II. The Declaration declares that all rights and freedoms it sets out are universal, and without exclusion due to race or ethnicity, religion, gender identity, language, political or other opinion, nationality, social origin, property, birth, or any other status.
Today, 192 member states of the United Nations have committed themselves to this declaration. And yet, governments and international organisations have continually undermined and neglected the obligation to protect refugees.
Across the world, people are forced to leave their homes; fleeing conflict, persecution, climate change, or a lack of basic care. While seeking safety, refugees and migrants often end up in camps, detention centers or on the streets, while states, such as the EU member states, work hard to prevent people accessing the right to seek asylum.
We call on all states to uphold their commitment to the UDHR, and to respect and protect human rights for all!
Everyone has the right to a life free from persecution.
No one is illegal.

Violation of Human Rights, in any country and at any scale, should be condemned by all irrespective of caste, creed, religion, financial and social status, and political orientation. There is no valid reason not to care about human rights. We must stand up and raise our voice when anyone’s human rights are denied or everyone's rights are undermined.
Whenever and wherever human rights are violated, I agree with the corresponding global and local protests while respecting the local laws.
Let us understand better from the preamble of Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Whereas recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world,
Whereas disregard and contempt for human rights have resulted in barbarous acts which have outraged the conscience of mankind, and the advent of a world in which human beings shall enjoy freedom of speech and belief and freedom from fear and want has been proclaimed as the highest aspiration of the common people,
Whereas it is essential, if man is not to be compelled to have recourse, as a last resort, to rebellion against tyranny and oppression, that human rights should be protected by the rule of law,
Whereas it is essential to promote the development of friendly relations between nations,
Whereas the peoples of the United Nations have in the Charter reaffirmed their faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person and in the equal rights of men and women and have determined to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom,
Whereas Member States have pledged themselves to achieve, in co-operation with the United Nations, the promotion of universal respect for and observance of human rights and fundamental freedoms#HumanRights #HumanRight, #StandUp4HumanRights #UniversalDeclarationofHumanRights #HumanrightsforAll, #Humanity

There is no reason why an educational course related to Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the corresponding implementation status should not be a mandatory in every school and college of this planet. Each and every existing student will get to know that education is a fundamental human right for everyone. Over time, we can aspire to have a generation of people around the world who understand that
Whereas recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the worldAll we need is political will.

I am more than happy for the #Gideons to deposit Bibles in hotel rooms, or for that matter a copy of the #Quran, the #Upanishads, #TaHio (Confucius); the #GuruGranthSahib, the #Kojiki, the #Aqdas, the #AgamSutras, #Republic (Plato), #WorksofLove (Kierkegaard),…; but I should really love to see a copy of the #UniversalDeclarationofHumanRights #UDHR by every bedside.
#BidenNailsUNCoffin: At the same time that the United Nations Secretary-General and heads of UN agencies have underscored the unprecedented scale of death and destruction in #Gaza — described during the so-called “truce: as an “epic humanitarian #catastrophe,” the UN is commemorating the 75th anniversary of the #UniversalDeclarationofHumanRights (UDHR). With over 64 days of Israel’s #genocidalrhetoric and action against #Palestinians, 2023 will serve as an inauspicious year of UN commemorations and their realities.

Amnesty International: Five Ways Our #RightToProtest is Being Threatened Around the World
by James Duggan, October 5, 2022
"All around the world, right now, peaceful protestors are being imprisoned, threatened, and face physical violence from authorities. Even at home, in #Australia, our right to stand up and speak out against injustice is being taken away. Now more than ever, it’s essential we continue to fight for our #HumanRights.
"The right to protest is a fundamental human right. #Article20 of the #UniversalDeclarationOfHumanRights states that everyone has the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and association. The right to protest is a way for people to defend their human rights and the rights of others when they’re threatened by governments and authorities.
"Here are five places where the right to protest is currently at threat:
1. #Australia
"Right here in Australia, governments and authorities are adopting an increasingly punitive attitude towards protestors. In 2020, peaceful protestors at a #BlackLivesMatter rally in #Sydney were met with excessive and unnecessary force from #NewSouthWales Police. Police used pepper spray and chased student protestors on horseback at the University of New South Wales, and pushed them to the ground. Both protestors and bystanders were injured in the process.
"The following year, in November 2021, a #ClimateActivist was sentenced to 12 months in jail after he climbed atop a #coal train and stayed on it for five hours to protest Australia’s #climate policies. Twenty-eight other people belonging to the same activist group were also arrested in NSW that month.
"In 2022, the NSW Government announced that disrupting any bridge or tunnel in Greater Sydney as part of a protest would result in individual fines of $22,000. This is a ten-fold increase from the previous penalty of $2,200. The NSW Government also plans to introduce legislation which would mean this $22,000 fine would also apply to protestors disrupting roads and public transport facilities.
2. #HongKong
"In June 2020, a new law came into effect in Hong Kong, referred to as the #NationalSecurityLaw (#NSL). What “national security” refers to in this law isn’t well defined, and the NSL has been applied arbitrarily at the discretion of the government and authorities to suppress #dissent and political opposition.
"In September 2021, a human rights lawyer named #ChowHangTung was arrested under this law and charged with 'inciting subversion.' She faces up to ten years in prison for peacefully commemorating the 1989 #Tiananmen Square protest crackdown. During the 1989 crackdown, an undisclosed number of people, anywhere from hundreds to thousands, were killed by authorities for gathering to protest the government’s censorship laws. At least three other activists were arrested along with Chow Hang-tung in relation to the peaceful memorial of these victims.
3. #Cambodia
"In May 2021, three young activists belonging to a Cambodian environmental campaign group called #MotherNatureCambodia were convicted to between 18 and 20 months in prison. They were arrested after they announced a plan to undertake a two-person march to the #Cambodian prime minister’s house in order to express their concerns regarding plans to privatise and develop the largest remaining #lake in the country’s capital city. They were charged with 'incitement to commit a felony or disturb social order.'
"Mother Nature Cambodia have won several major #environmental victories in Cambodia. In 2016, their efforts to expose widespread environmental destruction and human rights abuses linked to the #mining and export of #sand from coastal areas of Cambodia resulted in a total export ban on #CoastalSand from the country. As a result, the group have been targeted with harassment and repression from the Cambodian government. Multiple other activists have been charged with 'incitement,' and the group has been accused of 'causing chaos in society' and labelled 'illegal' because they’re not registered under the country’s restrictive NGO Law.
4. #Russia
"The right to protest in Russia has been severely compromised since 2004, when the Federal Law on Assemblies, Rallies, Demonstrations, Marches and Pickets was passed. The Law on Assemblies restricts who’s allowed to organise a protest and where the protest is allowed to be held, and subjects planned protests to a strict authorisation process that often results in permission being denied.
"Since 2004, legislation has been tightened numerous times. Most recently, the Russian government introduced new, heavy penalties for anyone who protests Russia’s invasion of #Ukraine. Less than three weeks after the beginning of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022, almost 15,000 peaceful protestors had been arrested. #RussianAuthorities have arrested bystanders of protests and even children. Police have used excessive force against peaceful protestors, including women, subjecting them to beatings and electrocution with stun guns.
5. #India
"In India, draconian laws such as 'the crime of sedition' have been repeatedly used against peaceful protestors, journalists and human rights defenders. The slow investigative processes and strict bail conditions under these laws mean that activists and others who speak out against injustice in their country may spend many years behind bars while their trial is ongoing.
"In 2021, a 22-year-old #EnvironmentalActivist named #DishaRavi was charged with '#sedition' for sharing an online Google document that was originally tweeted by #GretaThunberg. The document was a basic 'toolkit' for #farmers in India who were then in the midst of protests against the Indian government over newly introduced agricultural legislation. The 'toolkit' included information on the protests and how to support the movement, both in person and online. Disha is a leader of India’s #FridaysForFuture movement, an international student environmentalist movement instigated by Greta Thunberg.

Brilliant!
Thank you for reminding us what politicians once aspired to.
#UniversalDeclarationOfHumanRights
#UniversalDeclarationofHumanRights #Article16
Men and women of full age, without any limitation due to race, nationality or religion, have the right to marry and to found a family. They are entitled to equal rights as to marriage, during marriage and at its dissolution.
Marriage shall be entered into only with the free and full consent of the intending spouses.
The family is the natural and fundamental group unit of society and is entitled to protection by society and the State.
@boud @beto @martijn @selea Thanks for digging up functional version of the #UniversalDeclarationOfHumanRights. You saved me from that effort. Although in principle it wouldn’t be a big effort as the #deCloudflare / karma project produced a tool that automatically finds the last non-403’d archive in the #WaybackMachine :)
