HUMAN RIGHTS AND VIOLATIONS OF HUMAN RIGHTS
Student: Almir Gusić Supervisor: Mr. Nejla Kalajdžisalihović
Sarajevo, January 2015
Introduction
In this portfolio, we are going to discuss about human rights, what are human rights, in which way they should be treated and what is their purpose. Unfortunately, still in twenty-first century human rights are being violated, and that is why some nations and some people are being limited in their fundamental rights of freedom.
Human Rights and Violations of Human Rights
Recently, the question of human rights has received a great deal of attention. Today, violation of human rights is seriously taken note of by international bodies and by champions of democracy. It is in this backdrop that most countries have set up their own independent National Human Rights Commissions. It is very easy to describe human rights. Human rights are the basic rights and freedoms to which all humans are considered entitled, the right to life, liberty, freedom of thought and expression, and equal treatment before the law, among others. Human rights are those rights which are fundamental for living and for normal human existence. They are based on the concept that every man and woman, irrespective of caste, creed, color, race and nationality is born with certain fundamental rights such as, right to live, speech, freedom, justice, etc. Human rights plays role in everyone’s life, but not everyone realizes that, and it involves every comment you make that includes someone different. The problem of human rights is that people and countries have a different understanding of the term and its protection. In some countries political and civil rights are not given or guaranteed to all its citizens. In some other countries, economic and social rights
