Why Human Rights are
Inconsistent throughout the world
Paying attention to recent events throughout the world where
governments have focused on human rights of people from many different
backgrounds, cultures and various geographical regions there is a storm brewing
on the horizon. Certainly, when one looks at these allegations, there appears
to be an inconsistent but powerful demand to not conform to universal standards
and focus on local cultures and values instead.
Leaving government to draw their own human right values
based on local cultures and traditions opens up a Pandora’s Box to creating
various rules or by laws not consistent with those already established by many
existing decrees and mandatory rules we live by today and will impact those
constitutions developed or created in democracies throughout the world today.
Implementing and defining human rights according to local
customs will certainly impact existing stand-alone standards that will conflict
with those already written and enforced in many countries. It is with high certainty
that these new rules or bylaws will be influenced by religious ideology,
political traditions and regional inferences.
Thus this creation or adaptation of local human rights laws
or bylaws is seriously flawed and imposes unnatural sanctions or values not
shared universally as either acceptable or a violation of existing laws. One such
influence could be the laws pertaining to Sharia Law and its values. Certainly
not appropriate for a universal application, it contradicts the rights of
others as well as our own Constitution.
It is my opinion that if third world countries insist in
establishing their own human rights that this is another attempt to arbitrarily
use human rights as a tool to justify the means to oppress people who criticize
and condemn their government thus attempting to regulate their freedom as well
as voice.
Using the law as leverage to enforce such condemnation or
disagreement in speech or principle, we can see that these new human rights
laws will create more conflict and violate people’s rights everywhere this kind
of action is contemplated and implemented within the next few years.
