Terrorism in Pakistan
Human rights describe equal rights and freedom for everybody by the fact of being human and without distinction of any kind of race, color, opinions, beliefs, political views, gender and language. However, many people have always suffered from the lack of them throughout history. Imagine that a loved went outside on a little trip to the market. Now it has been a while since they left and its not even a traffic hour. Then you happen to turn on the tv and theres a headline that there was a target killing at the market and then they announce the names of the ten victims and your loved one is one of them. Later it turns out that he/she was killed because of their beliefs, race and language. You are now furious and you want the government to step in and bring justice. But the government refuses to do anything and doesn 't help you. In
Pakistan there is Terrorism which causes the death of hundreds of people every month and the
Pakistani government is doing nothing, it is inhumane. We need to force the government to stop the Terrorist because they have the power to stop them and its their responsibility to provide security to its people.
In order to understand why Terrorism in Pakistan is inhumane, one must first define what human rights are. A right is something every human deserves and has from the moment of birth.

    Global War on Terrorism

    There is heavier terror activity in certain areas of the world due to the ethnic groups in those countries wanting more power, and due to religious extremists. These areas most likely have ethnic groups which do not get along with each other (ex: the Middle East). Areas of the Middle East are holy lands for Jews, Christians, and Muslims alike. Although they all worship the same god with different names and some different ideals, they don't get along because of misunderstandings. When the religious fundamentalist extremists get into the mix, there we have it: terrorism. Also, since many western countries have oil interests in the Middle East, they tend to get involved, causing even more extremists, who claim to have the duty of purging all imperialists, infidels, or those who challenge THEIR interests, and there we have it again: terrorism.

    The Universal Declaration of Human rights declared that all human beings are born to be free and equal in dignity. People have a right to live, choose what they want and defend their rights. But nowadays, a person who is in the highest position is the one who did not follow those rules. In Article 3 said that people has "The right to live free" but if you are accused that you are an addict, you will be killed. People in Philippines killed by that reason even if you are innocent. They did not prove first before they killed you. People all over the world do not understand that sometimes their treatment abuses someone's rights. People are free to share their thoughts and opinions. Even though there is a lot of declarations and documents people…
