Human Rights Violation:
Pogge argues, a certain casual responsibility of human agents for non-fulfillment and non-fulfillment of human rights are involved in the human rights violations. When a person lacks a secure access to the objects of human rights like equal political participation, basic education or freedom of movement and freedom from assaults then it can be said that a particular human rights of those persons are unfulfilled. The secure access to an adequate standard of living as defined by the universal declaration of human rights are the most relevant human rights to the global poor as defined already in previous paragraph. In addition, these are not only the objects of human rights they lack as well as they lack other human right

It should be appreciated that they have been doing a lot for charities and donation from the people and government of affluent countries to help out those who are underlying the Poverty in development countries. Most of them have been doing such work to fulfill their aim. For example, Catholic Christian charities are promoting their religion in the different part of Nepal by helping poor people economically. It is not the question of fairness but is this a way out to eradicate the poverty as these orgs have given the message to local people saying that religion is also the reason of poverty?
Are we violating the the human rights of the world’s poor?
Yes. Affluent counties are violating the human rights. According to the Pogge,
“there exists a supranational institutional regime that foreseeably produces massive and reasonably avoidable human rights deficits. By collaboratively imposing this severely unjust institutional Scheme, we are violating the human rights of the world’s

The brief statistical data presented in the introductory part of global poor shows that about one third of human deaths, 18 million each year, are due to poverty-related causes. Pogge argues that we are violating the human rights of global poor is by arguing that globalization and supranational institutional arrangements has created the good condition for global poor and the percentage of the very poor people has been declining. I write to support this statement that the percentage of the global wealth and living standard in the affluent countries are rising up that is contributing to create the huge gap between them rather than a living standard of those people are inclining. There is no any alternative of the supranational evolved yet to compare globalization is contributing to decline the percentage of the global poor whether the violation by imposing the current institutional
Human Rights Violations in the Book Anthem Prometheus from Anthem by Ayn Rand responds to human rights violations by running away from the dystopian city and into the woods. Prometheus found himself in a bind when he gets caught for doing “crimes” that would be normal, everyday things in our society. The Universal Human Rights (UDHR) is a document that gives people basic rights that they are born with. The knowledge of the UDHR is spread through things such as books, for example Anthem.
These human rights 'instruments', as they are called, have fixed how many rights apply to particular groups of human beings such as women or children. They have also come up with new ideas that were not part of the thinking of those who first drafted the Universal Declaration. The link between human rights and other pillars is clearly evident all the way through the UDHR. First, it allows, in the Preamble, that the credit of the unchallengeable rights of all people is the groundwork of freedom, justice and peace across the world. Secondly, it expands the UN Charter’s stated purpose of encouraging growth by giving economic, social and cultural rights the in the same degree of safety that an individual finds for civil and political rights (Marshall
To many, violation of human rights is a serious issue. This shows that for every negative force, there is always someone who recognizes the wrong and seeks to correct
In the 1800s, slavery in the South was common. African Americans were treated so horribly that they got whipped and beaten as a punishment. They were even allowed to have basic human rights. Basic human rights include having the right to have freedom and control of yourself. For example, in Document 1: A Speech by Frederick Douglas (1850), it says "The law gives the master absolute power over the slave."
As we look throughout history, governments have implemented policies and are partially responsible for the denial of human rights to a certain group. These groups include Ukrainians and Rwandans. The denial of human rights in these regions not only affect those in the region but internationally. Both Ukrainians and Rwandans were denied their human rights. Ukraine’s hope and will was in the hands of the dictator Joseph Stalin.

Jonathan Wolff’s article primary addresses the unfair treatment of social and economic rights, emphasizing on the current global health crisis in particular; it disputes human rights not equally prioritized. He then poses a challenging but essential question: “How can there be a human right to health if the resources are just not there to satisfy it?” He obviously takes to heart the necessity of good health care as a natural right for humans and he believes it should be legally our right to have a good health system. His believe can draw once mind to reevaluate Franklin Roosevelt's 1941 speech in which he alleged that the “four freedoms”—freedom of speech and worship, and freedom from fear and want—are basic human rights. Wolff construes, the right to health is a human right as reported by the Declaration of Human Rights.
Kofi Annan, once the seventh Secretary-General of the United Nations, stated, “If globalization is to succeed, it must succeed for poor and rich alike. It must deliver rights no less than riches. It must provide social justice and equity no less than economic prosperity and enhanced communication” (Kofi Annan). Persistently, the world is reminded of the advantages of globalization and how history could have been shaped without its existence. In spite of the declarations that defend the international movement enhancing the ideology of an interconnected planet, the downsides of globalization cannot be ignored.
Over the past decade, the world has changed drastically due to globalization. Although everybody experiences it, the third world countries are proven to be the most affected. Not only does it affect the economic, political and cultural aspects of the world, but it is also one of the main factors for the growth of crime rate. Although globalization may be sought to be an opportunity for developing countries to improve, those who benefit are minorities.
