Every Human Has Rights




December 10th marks the 60th Anniversary of the Declaration of Human Rights. Every day our fellow human being's rights are being violated......abuse, rape, beatings, killings. They live in the heart of violent conflict. They have been discarded and abandoned........left for dead. The Elders, a group of Leaders including Nelson Mandela, Mary Robinson, Jimmy Carter, Kofi Annan, Desmond Tutu, Peter Gabriel are speaking out for our help..... We need to rise up and declare our commitment of the Declaration of Human Rights. Want to read the Declaration? This website includes powerful information, including the Declaration and a place to sign up to be a part of the catalyst for change. We need our leaders to inspire and to guide. They need us to be involved.......to use our voices and our words........to be actively aware in our consumer choices and in our dedication to this cause.

Every Human Has Rights........Sign up today......spread their important message. Listen to your Elders. :)

There's definitely no Human Rights in New Brunswick!!!!

Our abuse on the less fortunate are worst then a third world country.

We can't go to the human rights commission because they're paid by the Government....

:P

you've made a good point Charles. Human Rights are universal and most definately include the people who live in the margins of our neighbourhoods too.

As much as you and I have seen third world conditions in this province, there is a huge difference between poverty and extreme poverty, plus we don't live in a dictorship or under armed guards. We have freedom of speech, unless of course you happen to work in the public sector, but that's the name of the game.

As Mary Robinson states in the video, there is such a discrepancy between the "haves" and the "havenots"....she used different words.

It is ironic that here in California the people took away quite a few people's "rights", on
Nov.4th....With this Vote, they said...."You People Are Less, And Don't Deserve To Have The Same Rights As The Rest Of Us". OY VEY! Help Us Oh Lord! It is shameful, beyond belief!

Well Awareness, I'm sure you'll keep pushing hard for international interventionism in the name of civil rights - just like the Bush administration has done for the last 8 years, and the clintons before that and the Bushes and Carters and other corporofascist sycophants for centuries and millenia.

Unfortunately for you, the facts don't add up - wherever western forces try to peddle our corrupt neocolonialism, horror results.

How much more obvious do these corporate enterprises have to make it?

Not that western gorvernments have a much better track record:

Do you realize the number of soldiers we've got around the world proping up dictator after dictator?

At least Charles gets that corrupt little courtroom to plead his case.

Canada has been backing torture of innocents since long before the 'world changed' on 9/11 & will continue to do so as long as we let it.

Naomi...the results of that particular vote were surprising. That news has been receiving airplay way up here too! It appears that it caught people off guard.

Charles...hope you had a good night sleep. Did you even watch the video? Listen to your Elders.

Dan F. Welcome back.

I think we need to synchronize a time to meet at the market or something. If it wasn't for your crazy ass photo/political blog, i'd forget what you look like.
