Violation of Human Rights
Created by Vassiliki Tsichritzi, B3
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.
The most common
violations of human rights nowadays are:
Child abuse—40 million
children below the age of 15 suffer from abuse and neglect.
Gang violence—100 percent of cities with populations greater
than or equal to 250,000 reported gang activity.
(US Department of Justice).
Child labor—246 million children, one in every six children
aged 5 to 17, are involved in child labor.
(International Labour Organization,
2002).
Child soldiers—UNICEF estimates that more than 300,000 children
under 18 are currently being exploited in over thirty armed conflicts
worldwide. While the majority of child soldiers are between the ages of 15 and
18, some are as young as 7 or 8 years of age.
(US Department of State, 2005).
Human trafficking—It is estimated that there
are 27 million people in the world today who are enslaved. Every year 600,000
to 800,000 persons are trafficked across international borders.
(US Department
of State Trafficking in Persons Report, 2006).
To protect human rights is to ensure that people receive some degree of
decent, humane treatment. To violate the most basic human rights, on the other
hand, is to deny individuals their fundamental moral entitlements.
It is to treat them as if they are less than human and undeserving of respect and dignity. Examples are acts typically deemed "crimes against humanity," including genocide, torture, slavery, rape, enforced sterilization or medical experimentation, and deliberate starvation.
Because these policies are sometimes implemented by governments, limiting the unrestrained power of the state is an important part of international law. Underlying laws that prohibit the various "crimes against humanity" is the principle of nondiscrimination and the notion that certain basic rights apply universally.

Conference on Human Rights, December 10th, 2012
.JPG)
On
December 10th our school has organized a conference for the 64th
Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, with Paul
Nimaruta, from Burundi, professor of anthropology, a representative
of the CVM of Abruzzo ( a voluntary organization) and our teacher
Andrea Di Gregorio.
Professor Nimaruta
is a political refugee because he has said in his country all that
he has told us. In Burundi only some tribes can enter university.
Children want to go to school but they can’t.
The core of the
conference was on human rights and justice; in fact human rights
can’t exist without justice. Starting from ancient time ( 1400 ) we
can state that the representation of the world on geographical charts
is “ racist “: Mercatore’s map puts more emphasis on Europe and
the USA than on Asia and Africa; conversely Peters’s map shows the
world as it really is.
We need to recognize
man and societies through human sciences in an epistemological way.
According to the Linnean taxonomy we have:
- Human species
- State - Nation
- Race
- People – Ethnos
- Tribes
- Clan
- Family
- Individual
.JPG)
The only races that
exist are those determined by geographical adaptation. To create
single nationality we need multiculturalism, peace and respect for
rights.
We must distinguish
to unite: to distinguish without separating and unite without
confusing.
Italy, as the other
countries of the world, is becoming a melting pot, a complex
phenomenon where everyone asks for his / her own rights, doing his /
her own duties. Human rights are the basis of human dignity and the
foundations of peace. We talk about the Universal Declaration of
Human Rights, but not about the Declaration of Human and Universal
Rights that subject all human beings to the same will to do good.
Africa is a “
gateau de tous “: rich of raw materials, it is an open pit and a
lot of people and children are exploited in dangerous jobs by the
local population and by multinationals, aerospace industries,
technological communication systems companies and so on. Another
important problem is that of “gas flaning” ( to burn gases in the
open air ), that causes pollution and is a serious danger for health.
But nobody seems to take care of this. The international public
opinion depends on the Head of Sate’s will. A month ago, in Doma,
there’s been an international meeting for environment, where the
USA and Russia haven’t signed the protocols for its protection!!!
As we live in a globalized world, so there should be globalization of
justice, too!!
THERE IS NO PEACE WITHOUT JUSTICE!
What can we do? As
to begin in schools the concept of equality of races must be taught.
Biologically there is no racial difference:
- We're inter – fecund
- The main blood groups are the same.
We must be equal in
front of justice, too. To promote integration everyone must do all
the best to favour the insertion of the newcomer. Cooperation between
teachers and parents is of primary importance. The culture of peace
is the respect of human rights; this conviction must rise from our
hearts.
RACISM IS SON OF IGNORANCE!

In october 1968 a filmteam managed to shoot the above video, using a hidden camera. This period, the famous Greek composer Mikis Theodorakis and his family (daughter Margarita and son Yorgos) lived in a small village Zatouna in Peloponnissos. The dictatorship kept him there under house arrest.
Some of his most impressive music was written in Zatouna; "the Arkadian cycles." In this footage you can hear Theodorakis read and sing the song Pelago (sea) which he was composed only some days after the coup of 1967.

Video for the Refugees in Greece
Violations of human rights and refugees
Are the refugees entitled to rights and fundamental freedoms?
Respect for human rights is a necessary condition for both preventing and resolving today's refugee flows.
In what ways can the rights of refugees be violated in the process of asylum-seeking in host countries?
The right to protection include
(a) "No one shall be subject to arbitrary arrest, detention or exile" (Universal Declaration of Human Rights, article 9);
(b) "Everyone has the right to seek and to enjoy in other countries asylum from persecution." (Universal Declaration of Human Rights, article 14);
(c) "Everyone has the right to a nationality" (Universal Declaration of Human Rights, article 15);
(d) "Everyone has the right to freedom of movement and residence within the borders of each State"(Universal Declaration of Human rights, article 13; International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, article 12).
Are the refugees entitled to rights and fundamental freedoms?
Refugees have rights which should be respected prior to, during, and after the process of seeking asylum.
Respect for human rights is a necessary condition for both preventing and resolving today's refugee flows.
Rights of Refugees
In practical terms, the task of international protection includes the prevention of refoulement, assistance in the processing of asylum seekers, providing legal counsel and aid, promoting arrangements for the physical safety of refugees, promoting and assisting voluntary repatriation, and helping refugees to resettle .The right to protection include
- the right to life,
- protection from torture and ill-treatment,
- the right to a nationality,
- the right to freedom of movement,
- the right to leave any country, including one's own, and to return to one's country,
- and the right not to be forcibly returned.
(a) "No one shall be subject to arbitrary arrest, detention or exile" (Universal Declaration of Human Rights, article 9);
(b) "Everyone has the right to seek and to enjoy in other countries asylum from persecution." (Universal Declaration of Human Rights, article 14);
(c) "Everyone has the right to a nationality" (Universal Declaration of Human Rights, article 15);
(d) "Everyone has the right to freedom of movement and residence within the borders of each State"(Universal Declaration of Human rights, article 13; International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, article 12).
Violations of rights of refugees
Three issues are giving rise to concern. - The disturbing tendency to close doors to asylum-seekers.
- Intolerance, racism, xenophobia, aggressioni, national and ethnic tensions and conflicts during the process of applying for sylum and also after refugee status has been granted
- The persistence of human rights violations in countries of origin and the need to address those violations before refugees can be voluntarily repatriated.

REFUGEES
In recent years we are facing an unprecedented and massive new refugee phenomenon. A refugee is a person, who has fled his country of origin because of grounded fear of persecution due to:
- Race
- Religion
- Nationality
- Political Belief
- Membership in a social or cultural group
Refugees differ from immigrants, who, legally or not, voluntarily leave their homeland in search of better living conditions. Since life in their homelands is unbearable these people will overwhelm Europe and, of cource, Greece. It is not possible to safeguard the Aegean, the Evros and the borders with Albania, Fyrom and Boulgaria.
Refugees arrive in Greece in a state of despair having left their families to escape the risk of imprisonment and execution. Most of them have a traumatic experience of having seen relatives, friends, partners being imprisoned, disappearing or even being executed.
Moreover, they face serious problems of survival because they lack resources, family and social ties and communication due to language and cultural differences. These people will remain without papers, work and access to the social structures. They are forced to resort to “ghettos” in deprived neighborhoods, such as St.Panteleiomon in Athens or in imprisoned camps, as the Afghan camp in Patras and Lavrion. The refugees from Afghanistan, Pakistan, Sudan and Somalia have no way back; their path will never be safe.

IMMIGRANTS
The problem of migration has two aspects. On the one hand immigrants arrive in Greece
- Consolidation of racism
- Outbreak of violence
- Worsening the unemployment problems of locals
- Heterogeneity of the population.
On the other hand, nowadays young Greeks migrate abroad in pursuit of a better life. Immigrants in Greece
- The right to a nationality
- The right to life
- The right to education
- The right to seek a safe place to live.
