IS THERE ANY SIGN OF HUMAN RIGHTS IN KASHMIR


 



Human rights are rights inherent to all human beings, whatever our nationality, place of residence, sex, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, language, or any other status. We are all equally entitled to our human rights without discrimination. These rights are all interrelated, interdependent and indivisible.
 

 

Universal human rights are often expressed and guaranteed by law, in the forms of treaties, customary international law , general principles and other sources of international law. International human rights law lays down obligations of Governments to act in certain ways or to refrain from certain acts, in order to promote and protect human rights and fundamental freedoms of individuals or groups.

 

The principle of universality of human rights is the cornerstone of international human rights law. This principle, as first emphasized in the Universal Declaration on Human Rights in 1948, has been reiterated in numerous international human rights conventions, declarations, and resolutions. The 1993 Vienna World Conference on Human Rights, for example, noted that it is the duty of States to promote and protect all human rights and fundamental freedoms, regardless of their political, economic and cultural systems.


 

All States have ratified at least one, and 80% of States have ratified four or more, of the core human rights treaties, reflecting consent of States which creates legal obligations for them and giving concrete expression to universality. Some fundamental human rights norms enjoy universal protection by customary international law across all boundaries and civilizations.
Human rights are inalienable. They should not be taken away, except in specific situations and according to due process.

 

 For example, the right to liberty may be restricted if a person is found guilty of a crime by a court of law.

Non-discrimination is a cross-cutting principle in international human rights law. The principle is present in all the major human rights treaties and provides the central theme of some of international human rights conventions such as the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination and the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women.

 
The principle applies to everyone in relation to all human rights and freedoms and it prohibits discrimination on the basis of a list of non-exhaustive categories such as sex, race, colour and so on. The principle of non-discrimination is complemented by the principle of equality, as stated in Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights: “All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.”


 
 Human rights entail both rights and obligations. States assume obligations and duties under international law to respect, to protect and to fulfil human rights. The obligation to respect means that States must refrain from interfering with or curtailing the enjoyment of human rights. The obligation to protect requires States to protect individuals and groups against human rights abuses. The obligation to fulfil means that States must take positive action to facilitate the enjoyment of basic human rights. At the individual level, while we are entitled our human rights, we should also respect the human rights of others.

JKLF protests against ‘oppression on students’

Fascism has to taste what Hitler and Masoulini tasted: Malik





Srinagar , 21 Apr 2017

Reacting over the statements made by BJP leaders including Ram Madhev and Parkash Ganga, Chairman of Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF), Muhammad Yasin Malik Friday said “everything devilish is possible from the people whose forefathers took inspiration from tyrants like Masoulini and Hitler but these people should know that every fascist has his time but their fate is no different from what was of Hitler and Masoulini.”According to the statement issued to KNS, Malik said that “it is a historical fact that the founders of RSS had met Masoulini and Hitler and were inspired by these enemies of humanity.”“Hitler and Masoulini killed people in gas chambers without any regret and today Ram Madev and somebody called Ganga by issuing nonsensical statements are proving their fascist credentials,” he said.Malik said that “as a matter of fact these fascists enjoy power today and can overpower anyone they intend to but it is equally a fact that their fate will also be like Hitler’s and Masoulini’s fate and last defeat will be theirs only.”“Some non entity called Ganga is saying that Kashmiris only deserve bullets and Ram Madev justifying a Kashmiri being used as a human shield is saying that everything is fair in love and war. Both these statements are a manifestation of their frustration and also a testimony of the fact that India has occupied Jammu Kashmir by its military might and is treating Kashmir as its colony and also is at war with the people of Kashmir,” JKLF Chief said.
Malik said that “BJP, their RSS masters and their allies in Jammu Kashmir should remember that Kashmiri resistance against their oppression and fascism will continue at every cost and their defeat in Kashmir is writing on the wall.” Meanwhile, the spokesman said that according to the protest program announced by united resistance leadership, JKLF leaders and activists along with hundreds of people today gathered at Madeena Chowk and marched towards Budshah Chowk Lal Chowk to protest against ‘oppression unleashed on students of Kashmir’.Holding placards in their hands and raising slogans in favor of students and against attacks on them, protesters sat on a peaceful sit-in near Budshah Chowk Lal Chowk.The spokesman said that JKLF leaders Showkat Ahmad Bakhshi, Noor Muhammad Kalwal, Muhammad Yasin Butt, Siraj ud din Mir, Sheikh Abdul Rashid, Muhammad Sideeq Shah, Mushtaq Ahmad Khan and professor Javed were part of the protest sit-in and rally. Speaking on the occasion, JKLF leaders while denouncing the spree of arrests especially of students and unleashing a reign of terror against students throughout Kashmir said that “police at many places including Sopore, Pulwama and Srinagar not only attacked students, injured many of them but have even shamelessly booked some of them under 307 and other harsh laws.”Speakers according to the spokesman said that “whole nation stands behind these students who are actually our future and oppression against them is totally unacceptable.” (KNS)
