WHAT ARE HUMAN RIGHTS!!!!!!!!!!!

Human rights are commonly understood as inalienable fundamental rights to which a person is entitled to simply because they are a human being. rights may exist as natural or as legal rights in local, regional,. national and international law. The adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human rights marks the initial stages in the development of the current international human rights regime. Much energy has been expended to achieve equality and to fight against discrimination. In this process, different groups have been singled out as especially vulnerable: women, children and minorities at large. in recent years, more attention is given to domestic enforcement, including the extraterritorial application of human rights. Serious human rights violations are an important characteristic of contemporary responsibility of their perpetrators and on applicable law. However, in Zimbabwe there are wide spreads of reports of systematic and escalating violations of human rights. According to human rights organizations such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, the government of Zimbabwe violets the rights to food, shelter, freedom of movement and residence, freedom of assembly and the protection of the law. there are numerous assaults on the media, the political opposition, civil society activists and human rights defenders. this blog however seeks to engage in the unending scenarios of the violation of human rights in Zimbabwe.
