These are the basic violations on Human Rights:
A certain race, creed, or group is denied recognition as a "person".
Men and women are not treated as equal.
Different racial or religious groups are not treated as equal.
Life, liberty or security of person are threatened.
A person is sold as or used as a slave.
Cruel, inhuman or degrading punishment is used on a person (such as torture or execution).
Punishments are dealt arbitrarily or unilaterally, without a proper and fair trial.
Arbitrary interference into personal, or private lives by agents of the state.
Citizens are forbidden to leave or return to their country.
Freedom of speech or religion are denied.
The right to join a trade union is denied.
Education is denied.
South Africa has the most complicated and most up to date Bill on Human Rights and it would take pages to list all of them here. We have everything to the tee listed, because of our sad history on human rights violations.
