Universal Declaration of Human Rights

The General Assembly of the United ­Nations (UN) proclaimed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights on 10 December 1948. In addition to the Pre­amble, it contains 30 Articles that guarantee the universal freedoms and rights of every individual human being irre­spective of nationality, sex, language, religion, political opinion or social origin. The basic rights named in the Declaration include the right to life, liberty and secur­ity of person, the right to education, ­freedom of thought, conscience and religion, freedom of opinion and expression. They also encompass the right to work, the right to seek and to enjoy in other countries asylum from persecution as well as freedom from fear, hardship, ­torture and slavery. The Declaration, which itself has no binding character ­under international law and is automatically accepted by every new member state on accession to the United Nations, forms the foundation of international ­human rights protection together with the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the International ­Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. 10 December has been ­considered international Human Rights Day since 1948.

German Human Rights Projects

Germany has signed all the main treaties of the European Union, the Council of Europe and the United Nations on the protection of human rights. Germany contributes to the protection of human rights with projects and initiatives worldwide. In Central Asia, for example, the establishment of a human rights dialogue between the EU and the countries of the region within the framework of the EU-Central Asia strategy is founded on a German initiative in 2007. On a bilateral level, in Kazakhstan, for example, Germany has supported freedom of information and the press as well as projects against human trafficking and torture and contributed to ensuring that the death penalty is only imposed for terrorist acts and serious crimes committed during wartime through initiatives such as a round table made up of government and civil society representatives.

In its support for the reconstruction effort in Iraq, Germany has financed and organized human rights seminars for Iraqi judicial officers. The Berlin Centre for the Treatment of Torture Victims (BZFO) has developed an Internet-based platform for treating traumatized civil war refugees in Iraq. In various regions of the world Germany is also engaged in efforts to recognize the human right of access to clean drinking water and basic sanitary facilities. In Kenya, for example, Germany is backing the government in its reform of the water sector – and thus also the development of an improved water supply infrastructure. In Africa, Germany has been supporting a supraregional project against female gen­ital mutilation since 1999. The populations of Burkina Faso, Benin, Mali, Mauritania and Kenya are being informed of the neg­ative consequences of female genital mu­tilation and attempts made to convince them to give up this practice.

United Nations Human Rights Council

The United Nations is the most important organization supporting respect for ­human rights worldwide. The United ­Nations did not only define the protection of human rights as one of its main aims in Article 1 of its Charter, but also ­created a special body for this purpose: the Human Rights Council based in ­Geneva. It is the United Nations’s central political body for dialogue and cooperation on human rights issues and replaced the Commission on Human Rights in 2006 to strengthen the human rights work of the United Nations. The 47 ­elected member states of the Council primarily consult on how the protection of human rights can be improved and ­discuss the human rights situation in ­individual countries. The most import­ant foundations for their work are the Uni­versal Declaration of Human Rights and the six international human rights ­treaties with their supplementary protocols. Germany was elected to the new body for three years on 9 May 2006.

Russia, Islam and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights

 (WASHINGTON/PRAGUE)  On the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty's Robert Coalson writes that Russian critics consider it "aggressive colonialism and yet another attempt to impose 'Western' values on other cultures." [Read the full article]

In a special commentary titled "Everybody's Misery Matters," William Schulz, the former head of Amnesty International USA, notes that "dozens of states, from every religious and cultural tradition, have incorporated the principles of the UDHR into their national constitutions." He calls the declaration "a revolutionary document exactly because it is universal and thereby takes precedence over every political ideology and every parochial claim." [Read the full article]

RFE/RL's Jeffrey Donovan tells the story of Sabatina James, a 26 year-old Austrian of Pakistani heritage who, since converting to Christianity, "is at the center of a storm between Islam and international human rights law." Her case "dramatically illustrates Islam's growing challenge to the principles enshrined in the world's most translated document, including the freedom of thought, conscience, and worship -- and the right to change one's religion." [Read the full article]

And Radio Svoboda, RFE/RL's Russian service, interviewed former Soviet dissident Vladimir Bukovsky about the importance of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, its role in the demise of the Soviet Union, and its potential to influence the situation in Russia.

"The fact that the declaration spawned numerous legal acts and international agreements...has given this document moral authority," he said. "Since its articles have come to be considered the norm, nobody is able to ignore them. Even the Soviet Union pretended to respect these norms. Although, of course, it violated them massively on a daily basis." [More in Russian or English]

Universal Decleration of Human Rights

In 1948 the United Nations posted a Universal Deceleration of Human rights which are often touted by hippy minded  and war mongering types alike  as justification  for their tyrannical pursuits.  To check out these “rights” go here.  I will comment on some of the various articles in future posts and make a few comments.  Declaring universal human rights is not a bad thing, except when a right is a loophole for large government programs, or when a United Nations right stands in contradiction to the philosophy and/or constitution of a member nation.

UN Proclaims Universal Human Right to Clean Water

Safe and clean drinking water and sanitation is a fundamental human right, proclaimed the UN General Assembly, settling a debate that has continued for 15 years at the UN.

The resolution, tabled by Bolivia, received 122 votes in favor, with none against and 41abstaning, out of UN's 192 member-states.

The UN resolution declares that safe water and sanitation are “essential to the full enjoyment of life and all other human rights.”

It also voices strong concern that about 900 M people across the globe lack access to clean water, and a staggering 2.6 B do not have proper sanitation.

It is estimated that this is leading to 2 M deaths yearly, mainly of small children.

The UN calls upon all states to steep up efforts to change that dire situation, setting a target of halving the number of people with inadequate access to water by 2015.

Universal Human Rights

The purpose and need for activating our united human race community starts with the recognition that the continuing corporate globalization process has not yet established and has no intention of establishing a representative structure, which represents our Human Rights and freedoms or the earth's environmental survival in the emerging global society.

One major dilemma we face as a human race is dealing with the approximately 2% of power seeking people who set the course for how our societies and the world function.  That 2% is always maneuvering to gain more powers allowing them to dictate how the other 98% of us exist.  Generally, the 2% have no concern for human life while feeling they are entitled to use any forceful means necessary to achieve their goals.  We should take note that with all the powers the 2% have had through out history we have never witnessed that 2% suggesting or pursuing any legal entitlement for the people's Human Rights.  When the opportunity presented itself 60 years ago it was the 2% of power seekers who buried that opportunity, thus condemning us to exist in a fear based military dominated world.

Our human race community's overall purpose is to empower the 98% of us with the legal right and means to determine how our societies and world functions, reversing what is today perceived as what that 2% of power seekers want is the normal course for human existence.  Is it time for the 98% of us to take control of our global environment and dictate how the 2% will be allowed to function?

Our united human race community structure provides a practical and natural means where we can gather to develop an active and unified loyalty to our fellow humans within our human race community for the purpose of consolidating our powers in the event it becomes necessary to oppose any unwanted oppressive dictatorial political or corporate policies dictated to us by the 2% in the new global society.

Our human race community has existed throughout human history, although at the present time it is an inactive community not unified or structured.  This inactivity in our human race community prevents us from taking full advantage of our enormous powers of unity needed to enhance and protect all human life on earth within a legally structured system.

As can be witnessed in today's ever increasing chaotic, corrupt, violent, and dysfunctional world, it is no longer feasible for us to totally invest our faith and trust in leaders or governments expecting them to provide for our personal or societal safety, security, peace, freedoms, and most important our Human Rights and the earth's environment.  Governments or leaders are not the answers to the many Human Rights problems we face because governments are dividing factors where unity is needed, polluted with self-serving agendas, and limited by borders.

Our independent, united, and powerful people driven human race community structure will assume a higher legal position than the present governmental structures while possessing our right to authorize legal authority for adopting and enforcing a global doctrine of legalized Human Rights, which all leaders and governments will be legally bound to honor and provide for us.

Our united and active human race community will become the third most powerful force in this world next to God and Mother Nature.  Without question, the force of over 6.5 billion of us acting in unison on our personal common interest issues will easily achieve anything we pursue intended to benefit the overall human race.  The enormous power of our united human race community comes from the knowledge that nothing manmade including governments, religions, and corporate structures can exist or survive without the acceptance, support, and finances provided by the masses of people, who have built, managed, supported, or financed them.

Our human race by itself can survive without the governmental, religious, and corporate structures we created while those same structures we created could never exist or survive without the constant contributions from people; making us, the people, much more valuable then the structures we created and gave life to.  There can be no justified arguments opposing activation of our human race community because its purpose deals with addressing and solving our common human issues on an elevated global level unattainable by our individual governments.

By nature of its unity and purpose, our human race community will only act on the issues intended to serve the overall good of all people equally; knowing we will not naturally unite to pursue issues harming ourselves, the earth, or the overall human race, or create policies benefiting some of us individually but not all of us collectively.

Lets face the fact that the corporate goal of merging us and our countries into one corporate controlled global society without boundaries or structured global law will eventually require us to learn how to think and function as one single human race society in the future; thus making it more logical and much smarter for us to ensure the policies of our new global society will be established and managed by us and not by the self serving corporate powers.

The many future problems facing us in this new corporate global society are going to be; dealing with and establishing acceptable rules for our global citizenship, our global Human Rights, our global Peace, our global freedom and democracy, our global safety and security, our global law and order, the earth's environment, and building the global management structure that values, honors, and respects all human life.  Obviously, the only place with the natural interest, right, authority, and power to deal with these issues is within our united human race community.  Further, our human race community must be activated to establish the rules and guidelines guaranteeing the sovereignty and security of all countries as well as accepting and honoring the cultural and religiou1s beliefs of all societies to ensure a tolerant and peaceful existence within the new emerging global society.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights

Sadly enough, we have entered the 21th century with more human right inequalities and contradictions in the world than ever. Our parliaments have outlawed a range of inhumane practices and passed laws intended to ensure fair treatment for all; yet human rights organizations remind us that for many of the world’s 6 billion human beings, life continues to be a painful struggle for existence against injustice and abuse.



In its yearly reports, Amnesty International describes significant human rights violations in almost 200 countries. The number of complaints to the European Court of Human Rights has soared by over 3,000% between 1988 and 2008.



Human rights are defined as “the basic rights and freedoms to which all humans are entitled, often held to include the right to life and liberty, freedom of thought and expression, and equality before the law.”



More than fifty years ago, the United Nations Human Rights Commission, chaired by Eleanor Roosevelt, drafted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Soon after, the Declaration inspired the European Convention on Human Rights, one of the most important Conventions in the European Community.

School of Human Universal Energy

Academy of Human Universal Energy and Spirituality (HUESA) researches and educates a method in promoting a balanced state of body, mind and soul. It is based on techniques of energy transfer and meditation in order to help anyone achieve health, happiness and spiritual development.

The method is based on the "opening" (activation) of 6 chakras, which are the energy centers of our body. The activation of the chakras enables us to harness Universal Energy within our body and transfer it to other persons more effectively. The flow of Universal Energy in the body will help Human Energy system to regain its balance.
