This book was released on 2021-04-14 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims to manifest the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) in the International Community - such as freedom of thought and conscience, as well as freedom of speech and association. This also includes the UN Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination Against Women - so that gender inequality, misogyny, lack of family planning and overpopulation can be effectively counteracted and prevented. With the global population still increasing by an estimated 83 million people per year, the leaders of the world's religions need to make a greater effort to implement effective family planning in the International Community. Especially in developing countries it is often not the woman's choice if she has children. Traditional survival patterns often dictate women to give birth to as many children as they possibly can. Many nations with rapid population growth have low standards of living, whereas many nations with low rates of population growth have high standards of living. So it is very important that inequality, overpopulation and forced displacement are counteracted and prevented in the world. It should also be noted, that many religious organisations are behind the times, and must do better to implement the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in the world - such as freedom of speech and media freedom, as well as political and public participation rights. Therefore it is imperative that the religious community makes a greater effort to implement the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) in the world - in particular the New Thought movement, such as the Rosicrucian Order (AMORC). This applies especially in countries which are challenged by severe human rights violations - such as Russia, Great Britain, China, Iran, Israel, America and Afghanistan - so that peace and harmony can be brought back to humanity. Hence the New Thought movement - such as AMORC and the International New Thought Alliance - must make a greater effort to manifest the UDHR in these countries; by working together with NGOs, the press and activists. This also means that gender equality and LGBT rights must finally be implemented on a global level - as the lack of gender equality in the world is an embarrassment. Quantum Theory - and the ethical and psychological ramifications of spiritual intelligence - is also an approach which politicians and religious leaders should adopt, as the world is always in motion - constantly changing, developing and evolving.

This book was released on 2016-04-18 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Global Citizenship Commission was convened, under the leadership of former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and the auspices of NYU’s Global Institute for Advanced Study, to re-examine the spirit and stirring words of The Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The result – this volume – offers a 21st-century commentary on the original document, furthering the work of human rights and illuminating the ideal of global citizenship. What does it mean for each of us to be members of a global community? Since 1948, the Declaration has stood as a beacon and a standard for a better world. Yet the work of making its ideals real is far from over. Hideous and systemic human rights abuses continue to be perpetrated at an alarming rate around the world. Too many people, particularly those in power, are hostile to human rights or indifferent to their claims. Meanwhile, our global interdependence deepens. Bringing together world leaders and thinkers in the fields of politics, ethics, and philosophy, the Commission set out to develop a common understanding of the meaning of global citizenship – one that arises from basic human rights and empowers every individual in the world. This landmark report affirms the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and seeks to renew the 1948 enterprise, and the very ideal of the human family, for our day and generation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) on 10 December 1948 by the United Nations General Assembly marked a groundbreaking moment in the field of international law. Not only would it start to move away from its original conception as an exclusively State-centered domain: it would also mark the progressive transformation of international law into a law for humankind. This instrument started a codification and institution-building process that would slowly evolve into a complex framework of treaties, bodies and procedures revolving around the protection of the human being against the actions – or omissions – of the State. This commentary provides a specific analysis and reflection of how each one of the rights enshrined therein have evolved over time.

Download or read book Contemporary Human Rights Challenges written by Carla Ferstman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-09-03 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) was drafted by the UN Commission on Human Rights in the aftermath of the World War II in an attempt to address the wrongs of the past and plan for a better future for all. With contributions from President Jimmy Carter, UNESCO Secretary General Audrey Azoulay and the former Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, this collection of essays, Contemporary Human Rights Challenges: The Universal Declaration of Human Rights and its Continuing Relevance, by leading international experts offers a timely contemporary view on the UDHR and its continuing relevance to today’s issues. Reflecting the structure of the UDHR, the chapters, written by 28 academics, practitioners and activists, bring a contemporary perspective to the original principles proclaimed in the Declaration’s 30 Articles. It will be a stimulating accessible read, with real world examples, for anyone involved in thinking about, designing or applying public policy, particularly government officials, politicians, lawyers, journalists and academics and those engaged in promoting social justice. Examined through these universal principles, which have enduring relevance, the authors grapple with some of today’s most pressing challenges, some of which, for example equality and gender related rights, would not have been foreseen by the original drafters of the Declaration, who included Eleanor Roosevelt, René Cassin and John Humphrey. The essays cover a wide range of topics such as an individual’s right to privacy in a digital age, freedom to practise one’s religion and the right to redress, and make a compelling and detailed argument for the on-going importance and significance of the Declaration and human rights in our rapidly changing world.
