The document discusses various perspectives on human rights, including:
- Marxist/socialist perspective which prioritizes social and economic rights over individual rights.
- Feminist perspective which focuses on equality and systems that allow individuals to pursue their priorities.
- Western/liberal perspective which emphasizes individual liberty, private property, and minimal government.
- Third world perspective which arose from colonial violations but also drew from concepts like in India's constitution.
- Anti-discriminatory perspective which stands against violating the rights of others based on characteristics.
Human rights are also classified into three generations - civil/political rights, social/economic rights, and solidarity/environmental rights.

International Law is a rule that has been accepted as such by the "International Community".
The legal process that concerns relations among nations is called international law.
International law is a body of rules that govern relations between states, functioning of international institutions/organizations and rights and duties of individuals.
(There are three International Relationships are governed by “International Law”.)
1)Those between Nations and Nations
2)Those between Nations and persons; and
3)Those between Persons and Persons
Sources of International Law:
The term ‘source’ refers to methods or procedure by which International Law is created.
There are five sources of International law, According to section: 38(1) of the statute of the “International Court of Justice”. These are:
1.International Conventions or called “Treaties”
2.International Customs
3.General Principles of Law recognized by Civilized Nations
4.Decisions of Judicial and Arbitral Tribunals; and
5.Juristic Works or called “Writing of Eminent Jurists”
Basic human right is a concept that can be related to every race, religion, belief, culture and country. Basic human right is aspiration of every individual to achieve happiness in their live.
What Are Human Rights?
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.
International Human Rights Law
International human rights law lays down the obligations of Governments to act in certain ways or to refrain from certain acts, in order to promote and protect human rights and fundamental freedoms of individuals or groups.
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.
The foundations of this body of law are the Charter of the United Nations and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted by the General Assembly in 1945 and 1948, respectively. Since then, the United Nations has gradually expanded human rights law to encompass specific standards for women, children, persons with disabilities, minorities and other vulnerable groups, who now possess rights that protect them from discrimination that had long been common in many societies.

Group rights, group cultural identity and democracyFlora Kadriu
Abstract. The aim of this paper is to delve into the topic of human rights, consequently showing that the fight for recognising the cultural identity develops through the system of human rights. Specifically speaking, the latter is achieved through civil and political rights, individual rights, and the first-generation rights. Individual’s collective practices for cultural self-identification develop exactly through the civil rights, namely, the right of self-determination. The collective identity and practices also influence and determine the political system. Therefore, in this paper I direct the focus towards the democratic form of the political system of segmented or pluralistic multicultural societies and countries. The implication of this paper is that the consociational democracy (or consensual according to some authors), as a democratic and political system in multi-cultural societies, and cultural diversity in politics are tightly intertwined with the source of their rights, i.e. the human rights system. Keywords: human rights, civil and political rights, individual and collective identity, consociational democracy.

Human Rights /
Humans as Political Beings
Lecture 2.4
Natural Rights, Civil Rights, Human Rights
So far, in this unit of the course, the notion of
“rights” has come up several times. Both Hobbes,
Locke, and Mills discuss rights in some way.
As you may recall, Hobbes defines right as a type of
liberty, the freedom to do something without
impediment. Both Hobbes and Locke believe that
humans have natural rights, that is inherent
freedoms that they are endowed with by nature. In
other words, because humans and the world are
they way they are, humans come with pre-given
rights. For Hobbes the principle right held by
humans was to do whatever it takes to survive. For
Locke it was to defend one’s property (including
one’s life).
For Hobbes, when humans enter a social contract
and form a government with laws, they give up
their natural rights. For Locke, the institution of
government provides a way of guaranteeing one’s
natural rights by codifying those rights into law. When
a sovereign power establishes rights for its citizens
and laws for protecting those rights, we get civil
rights.
Natural rights apply in the state of nature while civil
rights apply in civilization. Human rights refer to
those rights which humans hold simply because they
are human. Such rights are closer in kind to natural
rights, but are often reflected in civil rights.
The notion of human rights gets invoked frequently in
discussions of violations of human dignity and ethics.
But where do human rights come from? Are they
real? Who guarantees them? How effective are
they in protecting vulnerable people? Do
other-than-human beings have rights, too?
Amartya Sen, 1933 -
Sen was born in West Bengal India in 1933. He
received is B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. in Economics at
Trinity College in Cambridge, England. His research
has included topics such as social choice theory,
economic theory, ethics and political philosophy,
welfare economics, theory of measurement,
decision theory, development economics, public
health, and gender studies. His interest in global
welfare and human rights was partly inspired by his
experience of witnessing famine in India.
Sen has served on various economic advisory
boards including the American Economic
Association. He has also received numerous awards
for his work, the most prestigious of which was the
Nobel Prize in economics.
Sen currently teaches at Harvard University.

Human Rights are those basic standards without which people cannot Human rights could be generally defined as those rights which are inherent in outs which we cannot live as human beings.
The concept of human rights has evolved over centuries, driven by a growing understanding of
human dignity and the need to protect individuals from oppression and discrimination. While
ancient civilizations had some recognition of individual liberties, the modern concept of human
rights emerged in the wake of significant historical events.
The aim of this paper is to look into the topic of human rights; consequently showing that the fight for recognizing the cultural identity develops through the system of human rights. Specifically speaking, the latter is achieved through civil and political rights, individual rights, and I generation. The collective practices of the cultural self-identification of the individual develop exactly through the civil rights, namely speaking the right of self-determination. The collective practices also influence and determine the political system. Therefore, in this paper I direct the tone towards the democratic form of the political system of the segmented or the plural multicultural societies and countries. The implication of this paper is that the consociational democracy (or consensual according to some authors) as a democratic and political system in multi-cultural societies and cultural difference in the politics are tightly intertwined with the source of their rights—meaning the system of human rights.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Human Rights: perspective, approaches and classification
1. Abdul Momin - Prepared By - Shahbaz Akram
Unit 1: Human Rights: Perspectives, Approaches, & Classification
Human Rights: Perspectives
What is Human Rights?
The concept of Human Right is based on the assumption that human beings are born equal in
dignity and rights. These are moral claims which are inalienable and inherent in all human
beings by virtue of the member of the humanity alone.
Equal dignity of all persons is the central concept of all human rights. These rights have been
designated to be universal in application, inalienable in exercise and inherent to all persons.
Human beings are entitled to some basic and natural rights otherwise their life would be
meaningless.
Marxian or Socialist Perspective of Human Rights
The Marxist approach of the human rights can be seen in the writings of Karl Marx, the Engels
and Lenin. The Marxian approach gives more importance to the social rights than the
individual rights. It states that the personality development is possible only through the
society. Therefore more importance should be given to the social rights rather than the
individual rights. Therefore the duty of the state is to guarantee the civil and economic rights
to its citizens. According to Marx personal rights and personal liberty makes a man more
selfish and exclude him from the society. Therefore social rights should be given priority.
The Marxian approach does not consider religion, culture, morality, and customs traditions
etc. as integral components of human rights. They argue that full realization of individual’s
development is possible only within the context of society. The approach envisages freedom
as freedom through the society not freedom from the society.
The importance of the Marxist approach is that it emphasized that socio, economic rights in
a society. The important criticism against this theory is that it gives emphasis on society rather
than the individuals.

Feminist Perspective of Human Rights
The feminist perspective on the debate around human rights is particularly significant as the
feminist movement began as a struggle to ensure a disadvantaged group of people (women)
were given the same basic rights as an advantaged group of people (men). The rights that
women have struggled for are frequently the same rights that oppressed groups across the
world are also struggling for. In other words, equality is the aim. However, feminist thought
has led to the idea that equality does not always equal being treated exactly the same, but
for systems to be put into place that allow each individual to pursue what is important to
them. In other words, more flexible working patterns to allow for childcare may be of a higher
priority to one person than another, but both should have equal opportunity to pursue a
career; meaning that the employer or the state should provide flexitime.
They include the right to be free from violence, the right to participate in the economic and
political system of the country, the right to liberty, and the right to equal treatment by the
law. The UN document “The Universal Declaration of Human Rights” can be read in full on the
UN website here: The Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Western or Liberal Perspective of Human Rights
The Western approach is also known as the liberal democratic approach. It is based on the
idea of liberalism which defences the principles of competitive individualism, private
property, and market ethics. It cherishes the individual liberty, development and human
progress through the functioning of the above principles. The liberal approach is based on the
natural law and natural rights view of human rights. The advocates of liberal approach agree
with the Locke’s understanding on the natural rights of life, liberty and property. They argue
the duty of the government is just to maintain law and order so that everybody will get a
chance to enjoy their rights. Liberal approach prefers a minimum or night-watchman state.
Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, J.S, Mill were the ardent advocates of the liberal approach. The
main principles of the liberal approach are the personal liberty, private property, open
market, open competition; it laid emphasis for the creation of a good society and state based
on personal liberty.
3. Abdul Momin - Prepared By - Shahbaz Akram
Third World Perspective of Human Rights
The approach of the Third World countries on human rights was not very different from the
western concept. But since most of the Afro-Asian, Latin American countries were under
colonial rule there were human rights violations in that part of the world. The nationalist
movements in all these countries were for the protection of their basic rights. Among the
Third World countries, India was the pioneer in the formulation of the concept of the human
rights. In India a large section of people such as Harijans, Girijans and landless labours have
not only suffered economic exploitation but have been subjected to all sorts of exploitation.
However with the independence of the country, the framers of the constitution formulated
programmes for the welfare of those who were neglected.
Anti-Discriminatory Perspective of Human Rights
It means treating a person or group unfairly because of a particular characteristic, such as
gender, disability, age, ethnic origin, skin colour, nationality, sexuality and/or religious
belief. This usually results in negative consequences for the person or group, reducing their
opportunities, excluding them from communities and restricting their ability to contribute
to society and live their preferred life. So Anti-Discriminatory perspective stands against the
violation of the rights of others.
Human Rights: Approaches
4. Abdul Momin - Prepared By - Shahbaz Akram
1. Natural School of Thoughts: According to this school, human rights are those right
to which one possesses simply by being a human being.
2. Deliberative School of Thought: Deliberative school of thought conceives human
rights as political values that liberal societies choose to adopt.
3. The Protest School of Thought: Protest scholars look at human rights as claims and
aspiration that allow the status quo to be contested in favour of the oppressed.
4. The Discourse School: In its perspective, human rights exist only because people talk
about them.
Human Rights: Classification
Human rights are generally classified into three. They are;
1. The First Generation rights
2. The Second Generation Rights
3. The Third Generation rights
The First Generation Rights: This generation deal essentially with liberty. They are
fundamentally civil and political in nature and serve to protect the individual from excesses
of the state. First-generation rights include, inter alia, freedom of speech, the right to a fair
trial, and freedom of religion.

First generation rights are therefore mostly negative rights. They were first enshrined at the
global level by the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights & are rights from certain
things, usually freedoms from abuse or coercion by others, as opposed to positive rights
which are the rights or guarantees to certain things.
The Second Generation Rights: Second-generation human rights are related to equality and
began to be recognized by governments after World War II. They are fundamentally
economic, social, and cultural in nature. They guarantee different members of the citizenry
equal conditions and treatment. Secondary rights would include a right to be employed in just
and favourable condition, rights to food, housing and health care, as well as social security
and unemployment benefits. Like first-generation rights, they were also covered by the
Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and further embodied in Articles 22 to 28 of the
Universal Declaration, and the International Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural
Rights.
The Third Generation rights: Third-generation human rights are those rights that go beyond
the mere civil and social. Third-generation or ‘solidarity’ rights are the most recently
recognised category of human rights, in response to realization that mankind lives on a very
small and fragile planet.
The idea at the basis of the third generation of rights is that of solidarity; and the rights
embrace collective rights of society or peoples
The right to peace: the right to live in peaceful world, free from the threat of nuclear
war
The right to a healthy environment: The right to live in a balanced eco-system free
from environmental contaminants that are destroying the planet
The right to development: The right of all people to have a basic standard of living so
that the gap between rich and poor is not too great
