Human Rights First | Publications - Kosovo: Protection and Peace-Building (6597 words) |
 | Human Rights First is particularly disturbed at the uneven application of protection standards by different national KFOR contingents, and their varying levels of awareness of human rights issues. |
| Human Rights First calls on the U.S. and other governments to make the necessary personnel available to UNMIK as a matter of urgency, and to ensure that sufficient resources are provided, so that the current power vacuum can be filled with legitimate authorities as quickly as possible. |
| Human Rights First is grateful to UNHCR at headquarters level in Pristina and in the various Field Offices in Kosovo and in Skopje for providing logistical support and advice on many substantive issues that arose during the mission. |
| Human Rights (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy) (15493 words) |
| Examples of human rights are the right to freedom of religion, the right to a fair trial when charged with a crime, the right not to be tortured, and the right to engage in political activity. |
| The main sources of the contemporary conception of human rights are the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (United Nations, 1948b) and the many human rights documents and treaties that followed in international organizations such as the United Nations, the Council of Europe, the Organization of American States, and the African Union. |
| Rawls says that human rights "specify limits to a regime's internal autonomy" and that "their fulfillment is sufficient to exclude justified and forceful intervention by other peoples, for example, by diplomatic and economic sanctions, or in grave cases by military force" (Rawls 1999, 79-80). |
