Stephen Duffy's Definition
I'm sure my own definition is fully consistant with the description of these
things provided by the international humanitarian instruments you will find in
the documents section of this human rights section of the website but I would like to provide something much more simple to understand than the
verbose ways international authorities have desribed human rights for those who
appear to have no moral compass in the world, given what actually goes on and is
not fully concealled by the politically correct euphemisms which would blindfold
a child not to know they are being treated as slaves while considering modern
slavery to be something happening to other people from or in other countries.
Time cannot deny the realities nor does the humour of BDSM sex scenarios heal
all wounds. I believe that Jesus and Mohammed are the best authorities who lend
a description to what human rights are when they describe the difference between
those who live by what the Hebrews called the ten commandments and those who are
only pretending to.
None of you truly believe, those who do not wish for others what you wish
for yourself.
This is a quote from Mohammed, the prophet which gave rise to the Islamic
religion where he distinguishes a difference between those who are truly his
followers from those who were at best half heartedly so.
We do not see Jesus making any claims of copyright violation for Mohammed
plagiarising his own quote:
In everything do to others as you would have them do to you
I am not myself religious but I recognise the logical morality described by
even the Greek Pagans in the scales of their godess Themis. Human rights are
timeless and the various religious writings suggest that if you believe it is
just to impose unsafe and ineffective drugs on me, then you are not behaving in
a just way if you would not permit me to impose unsafe and ineffective drugs on
you (The Sars-Cov-2 panic is very recent). Furthermore, if a person of good
morality had been deprived of their logical faculties to engage in an immoral
act they genuinely regretted when their logical faculties were restored, they
would do what they could to repair the damage they had caused.
Not being religious does not permit me to just ignore the moral precepts
which would still be comprehendable had Mohammed, Jesus, Moses, Buddha, etc
never have been so highly regarded. I either respect the human rights of others
or I do not. I am not a government though. There are many who believe that the
ONLY purpose of government is to protect the human rights of the people they
govern and it is only for this reason that they have any just mandate to
govern. There are many who believe than when there are those organised toward
the destruction of the human rights of ostensibly innocent people by systemic
means, such organisation is not government, but something which has been
described as serious organised crime. The role of government is to prevent
crimes within the society they govern but when the people who govern are engaged
in crimes and use their own laws to protect themself from prosecution by those
they victimise, it is called "crimes against humanity" and the sometimes legally
enforced measures are not laws, but human rights violations.
You should not be treated any differently from those who treat with you. The
bullying of big brother is never a right, but always a wrong. Let those who
advocate for suicide clinics be the first to demonstrate the effectiveness of
this medical procedure. Let those who advocate for aboriton have their children
hear such advocacy first. If they are not treating others in the way they would
be treated, with the full systemic circumstances taken into account, then they
have no place in any position of responsability for anyone's life but their own.
I hope to awaken as many as possible to the realities that there are those
who feel offended at the idea that there is no right to wrong people.
What are Human Rights
Auranos.org is now dedicated to the promotion of human rights, dissemination
of information about human rights and the provision of services to human rights
organisations, human rights reporters and of course victims of human rights
violations.
In the late 20th and early 21st century we have witnessed an alarming change
in the way human rights are being portrayed to the public, almost as though
there was deliberation somewhere to create a social context where human rights
could only be understood as the will of a portion of the population to suffer
human rights violations. For example, reproductive rights have become firmly
connected with the right to terminate a pregnancy while the right to go through
with a pregnancy barely merits any mention in the media. The same can be said
about the rights of people to engage in homosexual lifestyles or the rights of
people to go through surgeries described as gender re-assignment which will
destroy their fertility. Its almost as though there is some deliberation to
promote among the population a "right" to be victims of genocide. Genocide is
just one human wrong that appears to be becoming systemic in the first quarter
of the 21st century where a war in the State of Israel is now used to detract
from the peacetime crimes against humanity being committed much more subtley
against the domestic populations who may start "hating the jews" so much that
they fail to notice the crimes against humanity being committed with support
from the media corporations distracting from domestic realities by news stories
of atrocities anywhere but home.
Human rights dont just apply to jews and non-jews. They apply to blacks and
non-blacks. They apply to Catholics and non-catholics. They apply to women and
non-women. No matter which divide is manufactured distracting from our shared
humanity, the only qualification anyone needs to be deserving of human rights is
that they are human.
It has been thought, even as early as the time of Moses and Jesus that all
human beings deserve to have fundamental human rights to not be subjected to the
measures which render them as nothing more than economic commodities to the
various Pharoahs, King Herods, Caesers and Adolf Hitlers who have come to be the
epitome of systems of slavery where human rights are not protected by the rule
of law, but the very law is there to ensure an order where there will be those
who have little hope of attaining human rights other than through rebellion
against tyranny and oppressiong which is described in
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights by those who hoped future wars could be averted by universal respect for human
rights, or at least at the levels of government power, that human rights would
be protected by the rule of law.
While the phrases "human rights" and "crimes against humanity" have been used
in the post-world war two era to describe certain states of affairs humanity has
fallen to, history is replete with examples where different phrases were used to
describe the exact same situation for peoples in various parts of the world at
many times in their own history. When the law is about justice for all people,
there is peace. When the law is about the maintenance of power of the unjust,
calamities tend towards wars and world wars. This wisdom was known at the time
the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was written but seems to be lost from
the memory of many people who have attained power in the various worlds which
exist on planet earth.
No one, acting alone, or in unison with others, has the right to violate the
human rights of another or of others and those whose human rights are being
violated have every right to act alone or in unison with others in protecting
themselves from those violating their human rights. There is never a right to
impose arbitrary involuntary servitudes on others, even if the laws created by
unaccountable masters deems such practices lawful in a system only the masters
have any genuine say in. This view is unfortunately not held by those who would
sooner serve the masters to make their own life sweeter while engaged in abuses
of their fellow human beings.
My view on what human rights are is not some arbitrary belief I have made up
to suit my own agenda but prescribed in historic documents from the ancient to
modern, such as those which are listed in
the documents section of this human rights section of the website .
