1. Human rights are crucial for an equal, fair, just society. We need them to prevent being discriminated against just like the unfortunate events in Canada’s past. By enacting them we are also proving that we learned something from these events in Canada’s dark history. Some for example, included the Chinese Head Tax, Residential Schools, and the Sterilisation act.Â
2. The UDHR is a historic document that was the first ever agreement on the basic rights & freedoms everyone is entitled to. It also sets the basic foundations for many other laws and freedoms.Â
3. The creation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights led to a better life for the majority of the world by inspiring other NGOs to devote themselves to helping protect human rights in countries all over the world. They also pressure governments into following them and ensuring equal and safe treatment. By establishing the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, many countries have changed their ways after signing like Japan and Columbia.
4. But as there are advantages, there are also disadvantages. This creation wasn’t as universal as people had hoped. There were no consequences for not following the rights, and some countries cannot comply with every single right in their current situation. Especially poverty stricken countries that do not have enough funding to guarantee every single human right. Like Brazil for example, with their police violence.
