Human Rights Cannot Be 'Notwithstanding . . .' Printable Version PRINTABLE VERSION

Peace & Conflict , Human Rights   Opinions

  


Because what we basically have at the moment is an organization full of lofty ideals, but with tiny little 'notwithstanding clauses' built into its structure which makes it impotent. It's well past-time that the UN wake-up and make itself the strongest force for positive change in the 21st century.

A Nation's problem, Can be the Planet's Problem
Jerry | Nov 9th, 2006
The U.N interferrence in conflicts in most parts of the world is of paramount benefit to all individuals. First of all, let us call to mind the signatories to the U.N. Any country that is a signatory to the U.N charter, definitely in all its wills willingly supports the aims and objectives of the U.N and shall in all ramification agree or consent to the dictates and rulings of the U.N. So, if the U.N should be involved in some of Africa's warfare, then i see it as a welcome and positive development as prescribed by the U.N charter. Human beings are quite different in views, opinions and attitudes. One man's view or opinion can override that of others even if it is not in the right direction. The U.N as a whole is made of many countries, and each country has its own representative, with different problems robbing on their minds, to proffer different solutions for their individual problems. So, i believe in strong terms that the U.N rulings or dictates would benefit a reasonable majority of the populace of a waring nation. I cannot relate on the instances of the Middle East, the Rwanda Conflict nor the Darfur Crises. These are individual circumstances which calls for different interpretation of solutions proffered differently.

I completely agree with James Campbell. Human rights cannot be notwithstanding. So many inicidences have happened yet nothing has been done to stop it. We have remembrance days but yet we contradict ourselves in the world saying we learn history to not repeat it but there is no example of this phrase actually not contradicting itself. Something must be done!
