Enabling Human Rights Violations

Human Rights

Human Rights are inherent to all human beings, and should have available to them regardless of their ethnicity, gender, nationality, belief  and or any defining human quality. No human being should have their human rights taken away and or suppressed by any individual, group, nation and or entity. Europeans adopted the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights 10 December 1948 during the United Nations General Assembly in Paris (General Assembly resolution 217 A). The Articles within the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) are very specific and include clauses that reflect that no one should be discriminated against particularly in the right to Human Rights.

UNDR Rights include but not limited to

• Civil rights (rights to life, liberty and security),
• Political rights (rights to the protection of the law and equality before the law),
• Economic rights (rights to work, to own property and to receive equal pay),
• Social rights (rights to education and consenting marriages),
• Cultural rights (right to freely participate in their cultural community), and
• Collective rights (right to self-determination).

Nations and Nationalities have also defined Human Rights into their individual cultures through either religion and or laws that govern the land. Among Oromo, laws that protect human rights are defined within Seera fi Heera. Mako Bili's Laws (1500's) expanded on specific rights within the 65 provisions.

Enabling Violation of Human Rights

It is understood that 48 countries signed the UDHR with 8 additional countries abstaining.

Afghanistan, Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Burma, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Canada, China, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Denmark, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Egypt, El Salvador, Ethiopia, France, Greece, Guatemala, Haiti, Iceland, India, Iraq, Iran, Lebanon, Liberia, Luxembourg, Mexico, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Nicaragua, Pakistan, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Philippines, Siam, Sweden, Syria, Turkey,United Kingdom, United States of America, Uruguay, and Venezuela.

The following eight member states abstained: Belorussia, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Saudi Arabia, Ukraine, South Africa, the USSR, and Yugoslavia.

Given the above, it can be implied that any country that blocks a national groups right to Self Determination through providing material support (or direct military assistance) for a Government occupation of Nationals is violating the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Any entity that suppress' reporting of human rights abuses of a Nation or Nations is also violating the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. One can also make a case that the entity is discriminating against the specific ethnic group, and in certain cases is "perverting the course of Justice." 

A case can be made that individuals within Amnesty International were discriminating against Oromo people when they removed a video (encouraging Advocacy for Human Rights protection in Ethiopia) after the killing of Haacaaluu Hundessa , followed by a public apology to the Ethiopian Government.

What is not clear is why apologize as it is well documented that the Ethiopian Government is persecuting civilians including Oromo people. It is also well document that Oromo Political prisoners continue to languish in Ethiopian prisoners simply for attempting to run in the elections.

 

Discrimination by members of Amnesty International is deeply concerning, and contradictory to the well published report "Because i am Oromo."
