Human Right Activities

At the end of World War II, the Allies convened tribunals to try those accused of war crimes (violations of international agreements governing the conduct of war) and crimes against humanity, such as torture and genocide.
The rights described in the 30 articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights include the right to life, liberty, and security of person; to freedom of conscience, religion, opinion, expression, association, and assembly; to freedom from arbitrary arrest; to a fair and impartial trial; to freedom from interference in privacy, home, or correspondence; to a nationality; to a secure society and an adequate standard of living; to education; and to rest and leisure. The declaration also affirms the rights of every person to own property; to be presumed innocent until proven guilty; to travel from a home country at will and return at will; to work under favorable conditions, receive equal pay for equal work, and join labor unions at will; to marry and raise a family; and to participate in government and in the social life of the community.

The declaration affected the terms of several national constitutions that were written after World War II (1939-1945). Unfortunately these steps did not quickly end human rights violations. The years since 1945 have seen gross violations by authoritarian regimes, including several instances of genocide.
