Do you think a certain concept of human rights should be adopted worldwide, and why?

It sure should, and many western countries are pushing for it. Unfortunately, it is just a dream. More than half of the world lives with limited rights and freedom, you can blame governments and religious leaders for it (sometimes they're both the same).

Human rights should be universal. The charter of the United Nations was established to give that organization a major role in determining and assuring those rights to all people of the world. Unfortunately, the UN is a thoroughly corrupt organization which has proven to be ineffective. Perhaps it should be dissolved and replaced by a world body that recognizes the rights of all people and has the will and power to prevent dictators and evil forces from depriving people the opportunities that should be theirs.

properly that's the position a large chop up befell. The east separated from the west because of the fall of Rome, yet in jap Europe it grow to be saved round and human beings couldn't see the style between rights and state. even as in the course of the darkish a lengthy time period in Western Europe human beings nevertheless had such issues as inner most property and rights inspite of the undeniable fact that the authorities wasn't there... From there Western Europe spread it is thoughts to u . s . a . of america, and jap Europe were given it is thoughts followed by technique of Asia. Communism failed, or possibly it grow to be strangled out by technique of capitalism/liberalism. Now Western Civilization is on a march in course of international domination. it really is what i have self assurance the recent international Order is. it truly is a school of idea, inspite of the undeniable fact that it has an rather good type of wise human beings behind it who help it. yet no matter if it is known, "We carry those truths to be self-obvious, that all and distinctive men are created equivalent, that they are endowed by technique of their author with particular unalienable Rights.". it is an theory, no longer a known regulation, it is no longer textile, yet ideological.

We were all born with all of the same rights as everyone else in creation, every right possible to imagine. Societies, having formed, restricted those rights by imposing rules on human activities. Should we strive to make all societies conform to a universal standard? Wiser people than I can't answer that question. But I would suggest finding some way for all humans to retrieve total control over their own lives, thereby retrieving all of the rights lost to governmental restrictions.

Human rights should be universal, but what are human rights? Whose standards are we applying? "Western" society's views on human rights are not necessarily accepted by other cultures. Even within "western" societies, the views as to what constitute human rights vary greatly. Should everyone have the same freedoms and opportunities? I think so, but then I come from the USA, perhaps other places do not see it that way. Do we "enlightened" people have the right to impose our views on others?
I do believe that dictators, tyrants and other such people should be removed from power, but there again do we have the right to interfere? ----Hence the debate....

Pretty sure they tried that with the Treaty of Versailles, before WWII...doesn't seem to have had much impact. Plus, the UN would never agree to worldwide police work...

Human rights ARE universal. It is the leaders of nations that try to take them away.

Yes. But furthermore, I think rights shouldn't be limited to humans. Animals, trees, and the earth, should be represented as well.

Of course they SHOULD but who is the group who will decide and enforce these "rules"? And which set of human rights are you talking about? Every culture has different ideas about such things.

yes, but we can't even agree as a country what basic civil rights are; how would we agree as a world?
I'd love it if it could happen, though
