My favourite\u00a0quotations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

“- – – today’s\u00a0human rights<\/a>\u00a0violations are the causes of tomorrow’s\u00a0conflicts<\/a>.” by\u00a0Mary Robinson<\/a>,\u00a0High Commissioner for Human Rights<\/a>\u00a0(1997-2002).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. If we\u00a0discriminate<\/a>\u00a0others as\u00a0foreign<\/a>\u00a0because they, their race and\u00a0religion<\/a>\u00a0are different to us, all the others could also look down and discriminate on us because we are also foreign to them!<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. \u201cWell, there are people who think that it\u2019s right to do any thing in the name of their religion, their race, their family, or any\u00a0organization<\/a>\u00a0to which they may belong.\u201d\u00a0Daw Aung San Suu Kyi<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    From the UN Charter<\/a>_<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. The purposes of the\u00a0United Nations<\/a>\u00a0are – – – to achieve\u00a0International cooperation<\/a>\u00a0– – – in promoting and encouraging respect for human rights and for fundamental\u00a0freedoms<\/a>\u00a0for all without distinction as to race, sex,\u00a0language<\/a>\u00a0and religion\u2026”<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. \u201cEquality<\/a>,\u00a0justice<\/a>,\u00a0dignity<\/a>\u201d is the\u00a0emblem<\/a>\u00a0that represents the goals of the\u00a0Human Rights Committee<\/a>. The comprehensive implementation of actions against\u00a0racism<\/a>,\u00a0racial discrimination<\/a>,\u00a0xenophobia<\/a>\u00a0and related intolerances is a very important topic because these forms of intolerances have been\u00a0global<\/a>\u00a0issues<\/a>\u00a0since\u00a0biblical<\/a>\u00a0times.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. For\u00a0decades<\/a>, thousands of people have been victims of discrimination,\u00a0preferences<\/a>\u00a0and exclusions in view of their race, skin color, sex, religion, language, national or\u00a0ethnic origin<\/a>\u00a0and form of expression, causing extreme suffering and even loss of life.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. Racial discrimination<\/a>\u00a0is the ability or power to make distinctions among people based on race, color, decent, national or ethnic origin rather than individual\u00a0merit<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    5. Xenophobia<\/a>\u00a0is a fear of the\u00a0foreign<\/a>, of what is strange.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    6. Religious intolerance<\/a>\u00a0occurs when someone\u2019s\u00a0opinions<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0beliefs<\/a>\u00a0are not respected by others due to their religion or way of thinking.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    7. In extremely religious or less developed countries,\u00a0sexism<\/a>\u00a0is practiced, and racial discrimination is not considered wrong. In addition, the methods of solving racism could not appeal to all countries. Lots of people\u00a0believe<\/a>\u00a0that they have the right to\u00a0segregate<\/a>\u00a0others and feel\u00a0superior<\/a>\u00a0to them, just because they are\u00a0different<\/a>\u00a0to what they are used to.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
