Justice is the philosophical idea that everyone is equal and should be treated the same, with their basic human rights met; it is not universal, and depends on the individual perspectives and situations of each person, and can be influenced by social factors such as culture and background. In legal terms, justice refers to the balance of rights between victims, offenders, and the broader society. The idea that there is tension between community interests and individual rights and freedoms when attempting to achieve justice centres on the fact that we value and look for a safe environment to live in where all our individual rights and freedoms are well maintained. When trying to achieve justice, two main standard values are considered, just deserts and compassion. Every criminal case will inspire people to be dedicated to a certain emotion, depending on the situation of the accused and our personal bias’ towards them and their circumstances.

First generation rights are rights that are civil and political in nature, in the words of DeLaet they “…include the right to life, liberty, and security of person, the right to property, the right to freedom of speech and thought, the right to a fair trial, and the right to vote” (DeLaet, Debra “The Global Struggle for Human Rights” (Coursepack # 4)). They are also generally associated with being negative rights, meaning that they are rights “… [that] require the state to refrain from abusing the rights in question, a claim for a negative right is generally formulated as a “freedom from” something…” (DeLaet, Debra “The Global Struggle for Human Rights” (Coursepack # 4)) these rights generally have to do with civil liberties and the population’s ability to participate in politics. Some examples of these rights are freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of association, and other rights such as right to a fair trial.
XXXX XXXX Social Justice Sr. Sara 17 December 2012 Civil rights violation during the war There is now near-universal consensus that all individuals are entitled to certain basic rights under any circumstances. These include certain civil liberties and political rights, the most fundamental of which is the right to life and physical safety. Human rights are the articulation of the need for justice, tolerance, mutual respect, and human dignity in all of our activity. Speaking of rights allows us to express the idea that all individuals are part of the scope of morality and justice. To protect human rights is to ensure that people receive some degree of decent, humane treatment.
Poverty: The Human Rights Violation Abstract As a human being, we are entitled to certain rights. These rights are known as human rights and they provide a basic outline of what we as humans can expect to receive as human beings. Whether it is the way someone is treated, or a basic need, we all should have the same expectations of a basic blueprint of human rights. One of those rights that are being violated on a daily basis is the right that everyone has to live with the proper housing, availability of safe food and water, and the right that everyone has to education. When these rights are violated, that is when people are pushed into the deepening depths of poverty.
Every person is unique and is individual so in order to promote equality it is important to treat everyone fairly. Each person has their own needs, wishes and preferences so it is imperative that these are respected. “Diversity” is another way of explaining “differences” and it’s important for us to realise that although often people may have many things in common with each other, they can also at the same time be very different and unique in many ways. We need to understand and recognize those differences, moreso than just simply tolerate them, so that we can embrace and value those people which will in itself produce a more conducive environment for all. The result of this should lead to “inclusion” which is about creating a sense of belonging, feeling included, feeling respected and valued, even though it may be that that person lacks some advantages.
These are fair play, common good, gratitude and consent. I believe that we are morally obliged to abide by legal rules, whether good or bad, because they apply to the entire populace. Therefore, failure to abide by some laws amounts to foul play. The legal and political systems make laws that
One of the glaring statements that has often been made is the possibility of generalizing human rights without taking into consideration the difference in culture, tradition, religion more importantly human nature itself which vary from each one to another. Is it likely that we can achieve human rights which are universal without the existence of a universal culture? Firstly, the idea of human nature indicates both their nature and their source: they are rights that one has simply because one is human and that a right is a special entitlement that one has to something. They are held by all human beings, irrespective of any rights or duties one may or may not have as citizens, workers or members of families, private organizations and so forth. In the language of the 1948, they are universal rights.
Universal human rights are often expressed and guaranteed by law, in the forms of treaties, customary international law, general principles and other sources of international law. International human rights lay down obligations of Governments to act in certain ways or to refrain from certain acts, in order to promote and protect human rights and fundamental freedoms of individual group. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is generally agreed to be the foundation of international human rights law. Adopted in 1948, the UDHR has inspired a rich body of legally binding international human rights treaties. It continues to be an inspiration to us all whether in addressing injustices, in times of conflicts, in societies suffering repression, and in our efforts towards achieving universal enjoyment of human rights.
