Never before have we should speak of human rights , those fundamental and accessories that appear but are the size of the Constituent Charter of the United States of America.
I was always impressed the right enshrined the "pursuit of happiness", which is not "happiness" (happiness) alone, or a concession, but "pursuit" (achievement) that requires a national effort to create the conditions for this future happiness.
It 'a right that the moral of the old Europe, driven by pain, but just can not get that it would be nice to see implemented here too.
But unfortunately the world countries whose citizens can enjoy a good level of freedom and justice and democracy are thus a minority. In particular there is concern that in some countries in the Islamic government first right of man, the right to life, is systematically violated, as well as that of freedom of conscience (religious or political), expression of thought, education, movement, meeting.
I find the idea of \u200b\u200bthe great club of democracies "that accepts only those countries that provide a series of guarantees for their citizens, would be a way to say stop to automatic increases to the United Nations where the majority of member states is not of features decent respect for human rights.
But now I would like to submit a very sensitive issue, especially for me that I have a good knowledge of history and a university training in International Relations.
How can you defend democracy from the tyranny of the bullies of the world?
The position adopted by the Powers in 1938 "liberal" against Hitler in Monaco, unfortunately the same as that which today is held by the same power to Ahmadinejad, the Iranian president, brought in a few months, not years, to World War II.
today in the name of a dialogue which is a monologue (from the Islamic do not want to compromise) we are entering a period that will test the soundness of the balance of the world. I am not opposed to the policy that Bush wants to bring democracy to countries ruled by dictatorships, but it must be impartial and not to base policy on purely economic interests. Anyway, before democracy, there must be the Enlightenment,
historia saltus non facit. If the oil economy is threatened (but with it they would be billionaires interest) from a serious policy to encourage alternative energy the bargaining power of the Islamic world and contario human rights would suffer a serious blow.
As we are in the election campaign I would also like to remind the left that is also very attentive to small human rights violations occurring in the countries 'free' to open our eyes to the bloody massacres that every day Asia and Africa is almost always driven by religious motivations (Muslims against Christians and animists, Muslims against Hindus, etc.)
these few words, but many on Israel's security fence, or other problems of Western democracies.
The real evil that the deniers of human rights is to democracies is to compel them to violate human rights to defend themselves.
not recognize the principle of cause and effect is a method to examine suicidal history. Typically democracies violate human rights to defend against a threat, the opposite of what happens when there is no democracy and power is absolute.
