Business Management and Human Rights Until taking this class I did not realize how much Business Management has a relationship with human rights. We the people of the United States need information and guidance on appropriate precautions to protect our human rights in business. This is an area in the Business Management profession that needs more protection of the abuse of human rights. Human rights are about recognizing the value and dignity of all people. Human rights entail equality and fairness. They focus on our freedom to make choices about our lives and develop as human beings. They are about living a life free from fear, harassment or discrimination. Article one in the Universal Declaration of human rights state that all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. The Universal Declaration further states that human rights entail both rights and obligations. States are required to respect, to protect and to fulfill human rights. According to the universal declaration of human rights all humans are the same everywhere regardless even of our background. No matter where a human live or what they may believe in or think we are all the same and this is what makes human rights truly universal. Human right also covers all areas of life such as economic, social and cultural rights. Rights like the right to education, health or religion or even the freedom from discrimination. Management in business is the process of getting people together to accomplish desired goals and objectives. It requires human action to design and to facilitate the production of desired goals and outcomes. While the Universal Declaration of Human Rights proclaims that it is the state and governments responsibility to protec... ... middle of paper ... .... The universal declaration of human rights seems to be a good example of my theory. The states that have not ratified it believe in human rights however, they seem to have agendas as to why they have not ratified the declaration. The members that have ratified the declaration do not fully follow or uphold it because the declaration is unclear on issues. In the end more clear communication is needed as well as standards or guidance to ensure that human rights are afforded to all. Works Cited Impact, U. N. (2009).

Human rights are the rights in which all the human beings are entitled by virtue of their being as a human (Manchester University Press, 2001). The concept of the human rights itself is an abstract. However, when it is applied, it has the direct and enormous impact on the daily life of the people in the world. How the human rights applied in the broader circumstance is really having a long journey. Until in 1945, after the World War II, the United Nations (UN) was established as one of the effort to uphold the human rights to encourage the governments in promoting and guarding the human rights. Human rights are a central element of international law and also the UN Charter’s broad approach for the international peace and security

There is a big problem nowadays that all countries, regardless of religion, culture or governmental system, are facing, and that is human rights. Human rights are moral principals that set out certain standards of human behaviour and are regularly protected as legal rights in national and international law.
Human rights are the inborn and universal rights of every human being regardless of religion, class, gender, culture, age, ability or nationality, that ensure basic freedom and dignity. In order to live a life with self-respect and dignity basic human rights are required.

Human rights belong to all people, worldwide. All individuals, regardless of culture, gender, or race, possess certain rights that cannot be taken from them. “It links all members of the human race in a chain of rights and responsibilities that have implications for law, justice, and morality” (Human Rights 1). This means all people are entitled to human rights, and these rights cannot simply be taken away. The “universal” meaning of a human right means that all people have rights in every region of the world. Human rights do not just go away because people are born in a different part of the world because they are still part of the human race. The “indivisible” aspect of human rights means that all rights matter; people cannot “pick and choose”
States ratify human right treaties to enter into agreements and commit each other to respect, protect and fulfill human rights obligations. However, the adherence to human rights treaties is not ensured by the same principle of reciprocity instead to ensure compliance, collective monitoring and enforcement mechanisms were introduced.8 International organizations and treaty ...
A general definition of human rights are that they are rights and freedoms to which all humans are entitled to, simply because there human. It is the idea that ‘all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.’ The thought that human rights are universal emerges from the philosophical view that human rights are linked to the conservation of human dignity- that respect for individual dignity is needed regardless of the circumstance, leading to the notion that human rights are universal. The earliest form of human rights can be traced back to European history- the French Declaration on the Rights of Man and of Citizen which says that men are born free and equal in rights.
Proponents of human rights argue that the concept’s universality rests in its non-discriminatory character- human rights are meant for every human being- rich and poor, white and black, men and women, young and old, leaders and followers, elites and illiterate, etc- and are all treated equally.

Since the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), the discourse of international human rights and its importance has increasingly become indoctrinated in the international community. In the context of political and economic development, there have been debates on how and which rights should be ordered and protected throughout different cultures and communities. Though there is a general acceptance of international human rights around the globe, there is an approach that divides them into civil and political rights and social and economic rights, which puts emphasis where it need not be.
What is human rights? According to the New World Encyclopedia Human rights are those rights that each person is entitled to simply because he or she is a human being. Human rights are guaranteed by law no matter one’s nationality and should not be violated by any state or none-state officials. The idea of human rights depends on the possibility that every individual has worth and nobility and in this way merits certain fundamental freedoms.[1] With the acknowledgement of these basic freedoms, each person can make their own decisions and form their own opinions without their rights of safety or security being violated or threatened by government or nongovernment bureaucrats. Therefore, it is understood globally that humans are entitled to at least three types of rights. First, is civil rights which incorporates individual rights to freedom of speech, religion, and beliefs. Next,
