The ‘human rights’ system, like other noble value entities, faces many threats and challenges.
Some of its establishments lack credibility because they are controlled by different countries. Financial sponsors also affect these establishments and as a result, various facts prove every day that these bodies’ executive systems are incapable to get to the truth and if they do get to it, then they cannot publicise it with frankness and clarity.
Moreover, if they do publicise the truth, then due to the shortcomings of United Nations human rights legislations and mechanisms, they will not be able to back their reports with financial strength, which maintains these rights and protects them. This is especially true if these reports contradict the interests of a super power or one of its followers.
The examples are many, related to reports of human rights bodies and committees in Occupied Palestine, where the Zionist entity ignores most of them.
Hence, UN human rights committees remain strong in weak countries that are not supported by super powers.
Those organising and running international and national human rights establishments have realised the gravity of these threats. No doubt they are trying their best to face them.
However, the malignant disease threatening this good system and giving it a bad reputation is the great number of parasites and climbers that try to take advantage of the establishment for their own interests.
Powerful nations invade and conquer other countries on the pretext that they are undemocratic countries and do not respect human rights. In reality, these powerful countries violate the most important of human rights which is the right of people to live.
This value is often wasted and hundreds of thousands and probably millions are killed on the grounds of developing democracy.
Recent events in Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, Sudan and other countries bear stark evidence to this fact.
As for the threat of individuals to these noble values, they are similar to countries and establishments that wrap themselves with arguments related to human rights and take advantage of them for their own benefits that have nothing to do with human rights, principles and values.
That is why it is not strange that some people become weary when human rights become an issue for discussion, study or research.
They may be justified because of the points we mentioned earlier as normal human beings are enemies of that which they do not know; and as a result, contradictions of this noble topic has made it an unattractive subject which many people try to avoid.
Despite that, if people really look into this important issue, they will realise that they themselves know — through it — in a better manner as human beings. Through human rights, they will better know the source of their pride and freedom. Thus, they will enter a sphere where they can be of assistance and do good to others and themselves alike.
In the course of human rights, they will know what is right as a prelude to following it. They will also avoid falsehood and stay away from it.
Later this will be a weapon which they will carry in their hearts and conscience. With this weapon they will be able to defend values and virtues that were granted by Allah to people.
Thus, if people were to know the human rights sciences’ essence without intimidation, they would realise that it is a fertile area of humanitarian knowledge and a vessel of divine wisdom.
For this creature which holds a brain has been prepared to rule a world filled with other creatures that serve him. He was also given rights instinctively since birth and maybe before that when he was a mere foetus.
In addition to human rights being a value in itself, respecting these rights is an indicator of the civilised aspects of society. It also points to people respecting each other and treating each other the way they desire to be treated. Moreover, it is an indicator to the high ethics of society. Thus, we must not fail to understand and learn these rights and spread them amongst people for these values to prevail in society where human rights are respected no matter what the colour, gender, race, religion or sect may be.
