Human rights are basic rights and freedoms that belong to all people. They include civil/political rights like freedom of expression and religion as well as economic/social rights like adequate living standards and education. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights established core human rights values and principles in 1948. Eleanor Roosevelt and Rene Cassin played instrumental roles in drafting the declaration, which remains highly influential today.

Live Seminar 36: The Decade Since 9/11: Salient Trends and Their Implications...Program on Humanitarian Policy and Conflict Research at Harvard University
The document summarizes a live web seminar discussing trends in humanitarian protection and international law since 9/11. Panelists from universities and organizations in the US, UK, and Europe discussed the militarization of counterterrorism and expanded surveillance powers, their impact on civil liberties, and challenges faced in legal cases. They also addressed the politicization of humanitarian aid and tensions between humanitarian and political goals in conflict zones. Questions from the audience addressed the changing nature of the humanitarian system and tensions between centralization, governmental influence, and the need for acceptance in conflicts.UDHR
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on December 10, 1948 in Paris, France. It outlines 30 core civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights that all human beings should enjoy. The UDHR was drafted following World War II and the Holocaust in response to the need for an international document that would uphold and protect the dignity and worth of all people.
Preventive War and Humanitarian Intervention
The document discusses Michael Doyle's proposal for developing a legal framework for preventive war and humanitarian intervention. It summarizes Doyle's three-part proposal: 1) Develop a multilateral framework for sanctioning preventive war, 2) Develop case law and jurisprudence around preventive use of force, and 3) Apply the same legal standards for unilateral intervention that exist for multilateral interventions. The document agrees with the first two parts but argues that Harold Koh makes a stronger case for banning unilateral preventive action, as unilateral action lacks legitimacy and there are better alternatives through multilateral cooperation.

Freedom of Expression is a Human Right
The OSCE considers freedom of expression a fundamental human right. This freedom may only be limited in order to safeguard other basic rights, such as human dignity, for a very good reason: freedom of expression is the foundation for other human rights, especially freedom of religion, freedom of the press, freedom of assembly as well as academic freedom. Without the freedom to voice opinions publicly and freely receive information, all other freedoms would not exist.
The side event addressed the constitutional implementation of freedom of expression in the OSCE region. The primary focus will be on the treatment of freedom of expression as a negative and individual right, which with respect to the “Universal Declaration of Human Rights” (UNDHR) can only be granted to humans. Competing concepts of group rights as well as hate speech and blasphemy laws will be considered in light of the UNDHR and individual rights.
Human rights day
The document discusses the United Nations' Human Rights Day, which is observed annually on December 10th to mark the anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The UN General Assembly adopted this declaration in 1948, establishing equal and inalienable rights and fundamental freedoms for all humans. The Human Rights Day celebration occurs globally each year on December 10th to promote and protect human rights for people of all religions and nationalities.

Eng Agenda
The document summarizes the progress report of the Eminent Persons Panel on the agenda "Protecting Dignity: An Agenda for Human Rights." The panel acknowledges that while human rights standards and monitoring have advanced in the last 60 years, significant gaps remain between recognition of rights and their real-world implementation. The report outlines ongoing challenges including poverty, lack of access to justice, need to strengthen national human rights institutions, and need for greater accountability of both state and non-state actors. The panel calls for a new Global Fund for national human rights systems and establishment of a World Court of Human Rights to help close these protection gaps over the coming decades.

Human Right Essay
This essay discusses the development of human rights policy in the European Union from its early beginnings to the establishment of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights in 2000. It outlines how the European Court of Justice played a key role in establishing an internal human rights framework through its case law, granting direct effect and supremacy to EU law over national laws. Externally, the EU focused on promoting human rights through cooperation with the Council of Europe and conditioning aid on rights compliance. The essay then analyzes four landmark court cases from the 1960s-1980s to assess the effectiveness of the evolving human rights policy.

Human rights presentation
Human rights are inherent to all human beings and include rights like health, education, shelter, employment, freedom of expression and more. They originated from the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Both national organizations like the National Human Rights Commission of India and international organizations like the UN work to protect human rights. However, issues remain as violations are still reported, especially in states like West Bengal, Orissa, and Jammu & Kashmir. Improving implementation of laws and increasing awareness are suggested to better protect human rights in India.

Andrew Campbell Bellevue NE – governmental responsibilities for upholding hum...Andrew Campbell Bellevue Ne
Andrew Campbell is an international speaker and author from Bellevue, NE who works for the Department of Defense. He has given many presentations on topics related to human rights and victim rights. Though basic human rights are widely known, injustice faced by individuals daily can cause confusion about how they should be upheld. Experts like Campbell provide insight through their work. Governments have a duty to respect, protect, and fulfill human rights as outlined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. They must not interfere with rights, prevent violations by others, and take actions to enable rights. Studying fields like global leadership and international conflict management can lead to careers enforcing and supporting human rights, as with Campbell's position.Seminar of lnternational law ............

The seminar featured panels from experts at the ICRC, Naval War College, Human Rights First, and an independent researcher.

The live seminar was produced by HPCR and intended to address ongoing protection challenges through discussion of relevant IHL topics.Human rights and international humanitarian law
This document summarizes a scholarly paper on human rights and international humanitarian law as it relates to armed conflicts since 1945. It discusses how the atrocities of World War II led to efforts to establish universal human rights and hold violators accountable. The United Nations played a key role through the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which outlined civil, political, economic, social, and cultural rights. However, the declaration is non-binding, which some see as an advantage allowing flexibility, while others view as a shortcoming due to its lack of legal force. Overall, the document examines the development of international law on human rights and its application during armed conflict.

Amicus Brief to United States Supreme Court pertaining to the Legality of Executive Order No. 13,780, 82 Fed. Reg. 13209 (March 6, 2017) (Travel Ban)
Amicus-Brief-Lawyers-for-International-Law
This amicus brief urges the court to reverse the district court's decision and allow the plaintiff's case to proceed. It argues that (1) international law is part of US law and should be applied by US courts; (2) international law prohibits aggression; and (3) acts of aggression in violation of international law can be addressed under the Alien Tort Statute. It further argues that (4) the Westfall Act should not be interpreted to provide immunity for the crime of aggression, as committing such a crime could not reasonably be considered within the scope of the defendants' employment. Granting immunity would foster a culture of impunity for international crimes.
Delegation Report
The delegation observed serious human rights issues in Egypt after the 2013 military coup including widespread arbitrary detentions, mistreatment of prisoners, and restrictions on freedoms of expression, assembly, and association. They met with government officials who acknowledged human rights are in peril due to social and violent conflict. Civil society actors attributed problems to the coup overthrowing the elected government in violation of political rights protected by international law. Particularly disturbing were widespread abuses against women and juveniles, including sexual abuse and interference with peaceful protest.
