No one in this world should be left out from decision-making because they are female, or belong to a minority, or African, or of a certain religion, or they are gay, or have a disability or specific beliefs. We all should have a voice that counts in our societies.

  1. Human rights in Africa No one in this world should be left out from decision-making because they are female, or belong to a minority, or African, or of a certain religion, or they are gay, or have a disability or specific beliefs. We all should have a voice that counts in our societies. The work of Human rights in Africa should be praised and it is worth observing that without the human rights defenders many democratic societies would lose an important pressure point and resource. According to human rights defenders, all uphold the right to education and equality, and get freedom of speech and of opinion. They campaign against the development of natural resources by consumptive multinationals and overlords who are interested to dispose of the nation's property as though it were their own.

  2. They demand is an end to the situation where unexplainable governments and unknown institutions make decisions impacting peoples’ lives without their involvement. It is also pointed out that at every level that may be nationally or internationally, the whole believability and value of the human rights in Africa is supported by the participation of these and other actors of civil society, through their monitoring and reporting, through their contributions of expertise and awareness-raising, and mobilization of public support. But sadly, it is noted that human rights defenders in Africa and other parts of the world continue to be subjected to harassment, death threats, and vicious attacks. The human rights defenders of Africa are standing firm and staring down monsters. The High Commissioner noted that when facing acute threats to security, their actions compromise on respect for human rights and the rule of law.

  3. The regular review should be conducted against human rights law, to ensure that they are particular, proportionate, necessary, and effective. It is not only unjust to misuse of laws but it is also counter-productive. The way to fight terrorism is to protect and promote human rights and that will create a climate of trust between citizens and the State. Elections are basically the defining opportunity for people to freely exercise their civil and political rights. It is also good to focus on democracy as a living, evolving process, within human rights and encourage inclusive societies in which everyone can contribute.
