SECTION 4 HUMAN RIGHTS ACT

                                SECTION 4 HUMAN RIGHTS ACT

SECTION 4 HUMAN RIGHTS ACT  are those rights which are essential for us to live as human beings. Without
human rights, we cannot fully develop and we cannot use our human qualities, our intelligence, our talent and our spirituality. The United Nations set a common standard on human right for all nations when, in 1948, it adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. By this Declaration, Governments accepted the obligation to ensure that all human beings, rich and poor, strong and weak, males and females and  shemale, of all races and religions, are treated equally. The Declaration is not a part of binding international law, but due to widespread acceptance by all countries in the world, it has gained great moral weight. The UN has also adopted many international
human rights treaties, legally binding nations to guarantee their citizens’ social, economic and political rights. The most important of these treaties are two International Covenants— one on economic, social and cultural rights and the other on civil and political rights. These treaties, together with Optional Protocols, are known as the International Bill of Human Rights.
Which UN body has responsibility for human rights?

The Human Rights act Council was established in June 2006 to replace the Human Rights act Commission which operated from 1946 to 2006.Every one  Unlike the Commission, the new Council is a subsidiary body of the General Assembly. This makes it directly accountable to the full membership of the United Nations. The Council is the main United Nations forum for dialogue and c operation on human rights. It is administered by the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights.

The UN fights apartheid: a crime against humanity
Apartheid, in the Afrikaans language of South Africa, means separateness. South Africa, though 80 per cent of its people are black, had long been ruled by the country’s tiny white
minority. They imposed the policy of apartheid, racially segregating the country and depriving the black population of the very basic human rights. The United Nations, condemning apartheid as a “crime against humanity”, carried out a sustained campaign against this policy for more than three decades. Apartheid finally ended in April 1994 after the United Nations assisted in and supervised the holding of the country’s first free and multiracial election. Nelson Mandela, speaking before the United Nations (left), who was jailed for decades by the apartheid regime, became the first President of a new, racially-integrated South Africa.    (SECTION 4 HUMAN RIGHTS ACT)         
Is UNO playing its true role in implementing human rights across the world?
Its role is to prevent human rights violations and secure respect for human rights and all humanity by promoting international cooperation and coordinating the United Nations' human rights activities. It also works directly in areas where there are severe human rights violations though field offices and as part of UN peace missions Yes, they do playing a good role in implementing human rights across the world. But some of the countries like PAKISTAN is still facing the problems like that. There are still some countries who are going through problems like child labor. However, they are working for them but the main reason behind that problem is poverty. The government should provide them free education and provide them as facilities as they need to live. No one should get powers on another.
