It is indeed the season to be jolly, because now, we come to celebrate the United Nations Month! It is an annual celebration to showcase different cultures from different countries and continents. This year, the theme of the celebration is “Coming together with those furthest behind to build an inclusive world of universal respect for human rights and dignity”.
The theme ensures that no one is left behind, even those “furthest behind” are included. As it suggests, let us include everyone, not only those with influence or with power. It aims to end poverty and defend the human rights and dignity of people living in poverty, because at the end of the day, we all are human beings that live with different circumstances.
In addition to this, the theme for this year emphasizes the recognition and respect for human rights. The issue keeps on growing, but the disrespect on human rights should stop now. The theme of UN for 2018 reminds us of this- that the dignity and rights of every human being should be respected all the time.
The idea of human rights is as simple as it is powerful: that people have a right to be treated with dignity. Human rights are inherent in all human beings, whatever their nationality, place of residence, national or ethnic origin, color, religion, language, or any other status is. Every individual is entitled to enjoy human rights without discrimination.
Respect for human rights should always be observed. Wether it be for the poor, the influential, the tall, or the wise ones, let us ALWAYS show our respect. Let us not rely on reminders, but let it be an everyday thing.
