WEEK FIVE:  Protection Of Human Rights And Rule Of Law

Defining Human Rights

As we said above, there is no agreed-upon definition of human rights. They can be thought of as rights that protect especially urgent moral concerns of humans that are: (a) universal, i.e., applying to every human and (b) apply equally, meaning everyone has the same human rights — to life and liberty, for example. Notice that “inalienable” is not included in the definition.

Many people believe that at least some human rights can be forfeited by certain actions, especially by committing crimes, and that some human rights can be overridden under certain rare circumstances. For instance, it might be morally acceptable to quarantine someone for a limited period of time if she is infected with a highly contagious deadly disease, although generally people are thought to have the right to liberty.

The theories of human rights’ origins are contentious. The  Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR)  asserts that “all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.” It goes on to designate a long list of rights including:

• the right to life, liberty, and security of person,
• the right not to be tortured,
• the right to due process and equal treatment before the law,
• freedom of thought, opinion, expression, conscience, and religion,
• the right to participate in his or her countries’ government
• the right to work, and an adequate standard of living

Human Rights Protection

Methods of guaranteeing human rights vary with the sort of human right being violated, and how the violation occurs. Generally, states are assumed to have primary responsibility for guaranteeing their citizens’ human rights, but, at the same time, states are often the worst violators of human rights. Since World War II, however, states have consented to a number of institutions and treaties that limit their  sovereign  internal and external powers. For instance,  the UN Charter , the  Genocide Convention , and the  International Criminal Court  all limit the powers states have. These supranational institutions both place limits on what states can legally do, and provide some remedies for violations of human rights. These remedies range from authorizing  humanitarian intervention  under Chapter VII of the UN Charter to  peacekeeping missions  to authorizing the arrest of a head of state. Recent normative developments, such as the  responsibility to protect (R2P)  doctrine, may create higher costs for states that abuse their citizens and may provide another justification for international humanitarian intervention, as happened in Libya in the spring of 2011.

Another means of protecting human rights originates with non-state actors such as  NGOs . Organizations such as  Amnesty International  and  Human Rights Watch  expose violations of human rights, which put pressure on governments to change their practices. Citizens themselves sometimes organize to overthrow human-rights violating regimes such as occurred in North Africa and the Middle East in 2011.

WEEK SEVEN: Consumer Rights And Responsibilities

• The Right to Safety:  This right refers to any product, other than an automobile, that may cause bodily harm to the consumer when used as it was intended to be used. This right gained further attention in 1972, when the US government formed the Consumer Product Safety Commission, which set up safety and performance standards for products, requiring them to be tested and carry warning labels if necessary. Conversely, the consumer’s responsibility here is to use the product safely, follow all directions, and to be aware of any future warnings regarding the product. If you’re concerned about safety in the workplace,  this course on safety training for supervisors  will help get your work area ship shape.
• The Right to Be Informed:  Here, it is the company’s responsibility to provide accurate and truthful information so that the consumer is able to make intelligent and informed choices. This right covers all products, but its original aim was to eradicate misleading information in the areas of financing, advertising, labeling, and packaging. Some examples of the legislation passed as a result of this right include the Wholesome Meat Act, the Truth in Lending Act, and the Fair Packaging and Labeling Act. The responsibility of the consumer lies in their obligation to analyze this product information, and to use it wisely.
• The Right to Choose:  Consumers not only have the right to a variety of options to choose from, but the environment in which the products and services are offered must be healthy, and conducive to fair competition. The government has promoted this environment by passing legislation regarding patent law, anti-trusts, and price-cutting and gouging. The responsibility of the consumer is to simply make their choices carefully. If you’ve got a patent you’d like to protect,  this course on how to write and file a patent  will show you how to deal with patent protection yourself.
• The Right to be Heard:  Consumers have the right to express their complaints and concerns, resulting not only in safer goods and services, but also for the creation of laws regarding this safety. There’s no official forum for these complaints to be heard, but state and federal attorney generals, as well as organizations like the Better Business Bureau deal with these situations all of the time. It’s a consumer’s responsibility to express their concern when necessary.
• The Right to Satisfy Basic Needs:  People have a right to have access to basic fundamental needs, such as food, clothing, shelter, education, health care, sanitation, water, etc. Not only should consumers have access to these necessities, they should be responsible enough to consume these items sustainably, so that not only are they fulfilled, but so others can have their needs met, as well.
• The Right to Redress:  If a consumer has lost money or otherwise felt cheated due to misrepresentation, shoddy products, or unsatisfactory services, they have the right to request money or other benefits to make up for their loss. The responsibility that lies with them is to seek appropriate compensation if a wrong is committed, in order to any wrongdoings are unacceptable.
• The Right to Consumer Education:  Consumers have the right to make the best-informed decision when making a purchase, and this information should be readily available, and easy to understand. It is their duty to remain properly informed as the nature of products evolves over time, and information changes.
• The Right to a Healthy Environment:  Expanding out from consumers rights, and into basic human rights, people have the right to live and work in an environment that is healthy non-threatening. This is not only for the people now, but also for future generations, and their responsibility is to make choices that minimize their environmental impact on the people of today and tomorrow.

Definitions of Democracy

Democracy can be defined as a government of the people, by the people and for the people in ordinary terms.

Democracy has been defined by various philosophers and writers in different ways e.g.

Aristotle definition of democracy, It is  the rule of mob and condemns it.

See lay defined it as  a government in which everyone has a share.

In short democracy is that form of government in which sovereignty remains in the hands of the entire nation, which can make and unmake the government.

Types of Democracy

Following are two types of democracy

1. Direct Democracy

Under this system the people take direct in the affairs of the state. The people themselves are the rulers and they are the ruled at the same time. They themselves make the laws, enforce them and decide cases according to these laws. Such a democracy existed in City States of ancient Greece and Rome. Some practices of direct democracy are still observed in Switzerland and in some states of the USA.

2. Indirect or Representative Democracy

After the creation of large nation states, it became impossible for all the people directly to participate in the affairs of the state. Under this form of government the people elect a small number of representatives or delegation and give them the authority to run the government. Since the people rule through these representatives, we give the system the name of indirect or representative democracy. Today in almost all the countries of the world there is indirect or representative democracy.

Features Of Democracy

• Periodic election.
• Political parties
• Free association and groups
• Secret ballot.

WEEK NINE: Democratic Institutions

• Independent National Electoral Commission.
• Pressure groups
• Arms of government

WEEK TEN: Pillars Of Democracy

• Democratic Institutions
• Rule of Law
• Transparent Electoral Processes
• Majority Rule and Minority Rights
