Presentation transcript:

“Human rights are inscribed in the hearts of people” Mary Robinson, former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights

WHAT ARE HUMAN RIGHTS? Human rights are the rights and freedoms that we all have. Some human rights are based on our physical needs. The right to life. To food. To shelter. Other human rights protect us. The right to be free from torture, cruel treatment and abuse. Human rights are also there to ensure we develop to our fullest potential. The right to education. To work. To participate in your community. Everybody has human rights. Nobody can take your rights away.

WHY DO HUMAN RIGHTS MATTER TO ME? Human rights matter to us all. 2 million Australians 9.9 per cent of the population including 365,270 children are currently living below the poverty line. more than 100,000 Australians have no home. It is vital that all young people know their rights!

WHERE DO RIGHTS COME FROM? Human rights are based on the values of: Dignity Justice Respect Equality Human rights were officially recognised as values by the world when the United Nations was set up.

WHAT IS THE UNITED NATIONS? The United Nations (UN) is an international organisation that was established in 1945, the year the Second World War ended. Its founders hoped it would be able to prevent catastrophes like the Holocaust from happening in the future. So promoting human rights became an aim of the UN, along with maintaining international peace and reducing poverty.

THE UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS The United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is the most famous human rights agreement in the world. It contains 30 human rights. According to the UDHR, you have the right to:

THE KEY MESSAGES OF THE UNIVERSAL DECLARATION ARE THAT HUMAN RIGHTS ARE: Universal Equal

WHO WROTE THE UDHR? The people who wrote the UDHR came from: Australia, Chile, China, France, Lebanon, the former Soviet Union, the UK and the US.

HOW DOES THE UDHR PROTECT HUMAN RIGHTS? The UDHR is an international statement of values that has inspired over 80 treaties containing human rights laws, including the main UN human rights treaties.

WHY SHOULD I CARE?

SO, HOW CAN YOU CLAIM YOUR RIGHTS? KNOW your rights KNOW how they are protected in Australia KNOW how (and where) to claim them
