Human rights and Vulnerable Groups; “Women’s rights.” Introduction The phrase “Human Rights” has always been used in a context of fear of a recent past incident where some vulnerable groups suffered the consequences of the failed systems of protection. In essence, the phrase “human rights” has always drawn negative attention since human rights are not as universal as they should be. The existence of international laws, including the United Nation’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights, has almost failed in protecting the rights of the vulnerable groups. However, in consideration of how international laws and the human rights protective laws are framed in the US, it is almost impossible to think of the existence of vulnerable groups. This is because the international laws and the laws that protect human rights in the US were framed to create a sense of equality and to avoid making specific groups feel like they are vulnerable to abuse. However, the truth is that there exist vulnerable groups in today’s contemporary society, and the framing of human rights laws in ways that hide this truth only…

There has been a significant rise in the number of cases reporting gun violence within learning institutions in America over the years. The provision of assault rifles to mentally challenged individuals has prompted the growth of gun violence in learning institutions. Stricter gun policies would help alleviate armed crimes and promote a better and safer environment for all persons.

Immigration and laws related to Immigration Immigration Background Immigration has increased over the last years in the U.S. Measures have, as a result, been sought to curb the rising numbers. Strict measures have been instituted since President Trump took office in 2017 (Bachega, 2018). The debate, however, exists regarding the strictness of the immigration measures as regards due process and equal protection. Human rights activists, for example, have been against the detaining of immigrants for undefined periods. It is important to note that illegally crossing the U.S. border deems an individual an illegal alien. As such, the individual is detained and separated from any child or children accompanying the individual. The constitution, under the Fourteenth Amendment, focuses on equal protection as far as the law is concerned (Cornell Law School, n.d.). It, therefore, means that immigrants naturalized in the U.S. have equal rights as any other American citizen. Depriving such a person, life, freedom, and property without due process is equivalent to breaking the law. It is in this regard that the undefined detention period of people is under debate.…

HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES IN NORTH KOREA Abstract This research aims at evaluating the level and nature of human rights abuses in North Korea. North Korea has a repressive regime that promotes activities that deny citizens their fundamental human rights. The socialist constitution of North Korea commits the government to respect and protect human rights. However, the regime is blamed for its poor record on protecting and promoting individuals’ rights and freedoms. A Human Rights Watch report describes North Korea’s state of human rights abuse as the “world’s most repressive” country. The leader of the regime, Chairman Kim, exercises total political control in a state that is characterized by absolute restrictions of all civil and political liberties.

They include the rights to life, freedom from slavery, and freedom of opinion and expression. The international human rights law lays the guideline and obligations for the government to act or refrain from certain…
