UNITED NATIONS CELEBRATION 2018

    We are celebrating United Nations every year. The United Nations is an international organization founded in 1945 and committed to maintaining international peace and security; developing friendly relations among nations; promoting social progress, better living standards and human rights. The theme is "Coming together with those furthest behind to build an inclusive world of universal rights and dignity."

     This year's theme explains that people all over around the world unite to build thousand of rights for every one to have the equality, and have dignity for themselves . So the main focus is about people with their rights and dignity. What will be it's effect? How will they build rights? Where everyone can be a part of it, that no one should be left behind.


      Talking about Human Rights and dignity,we should further know more about these. Human rights are rights inherent to all human beings, regardless of race, sex, nationality, ethnicity, language, religion, or any other status. Human rights include the right to life and liberty, freedom from slavery and torture, freedom of opinion and expression, the right to work and education, and many more.  Everyone is entitled to these rights, without discrimination.One of the great achievements of the United Nations is the creation of a comprehensive body of human rights law—a universal and internationally protected code to which all nations can subscribe and all people aspire. The United Nations has defined a broad range of internationally accepted rights, including civil, cultural, economic, political and social rights. It has also established mechanisms to promote and protect these rights and to assist states in carrying out their responsibilities.

       Another thing to be explained is the Dignity of humans. Dignity is the quality of being honourable, noble, excellent or worthy. Human dignity is a sense of self-worth. Therefore, dignity is a sense of pride in oneself that a human being has with them. This conscious sense makes them feel that they deserve respect and honour from other human beings.


       Human rights are intimately related to the notion of human dignity. Both notions are connected in such a way that one cannot be understood without the other. The importance of human rights and the requirement to respect everyone’s rights is based on the notion of human dignity. In that sense, human dignity is considered to be the foundation of human rights. Advocates of human rights and different social movements resort to human dignity in order to justify their claims and their actions. The attack against global poverty, the fight against discrimination, torture and inhumane treatments, and the condemnation of injustice, are all grounded in the notion of human dignity. This central role of human dignity leads to the question of its justification: where does the power of human dignity come from? Or better, why does a person have the dignity that justifies the requirement to respect his rights? The answer to this question depends on the perspective from which one is speaking. That is, from a religious point of view, a philosophical point of view, or an experiential point of view. The theme "Coming together with those furthest behind to build an inclusive world of universal rights and dignity" will explore these different perspectives. Grasping the relationship between human rights and human dignity enables us to understand that human rights are more about the kind of world rational and reasonable beings would like to live in.
