Three possible objectives of human rights campaigns are:
- Human rights realization
- Government compliance with human rights
- Explaining human rights so that the masses can understand
Human rights are the basic principles that human beings are entitled to because they are human. These include:
- The right to life
- Freedom from discrimination
- Equality before the law and many others.
There exist Human Rights campaigns and organizations that try to push for these human right and some of their objectives are:
Human rights realization
These campaigns push for countries and societies to accept and follow human rights such that all the people in these societies can be free from the perils that come when human beings are not given their basic rights such as discrimination and even death.
They do this by lobbying the government and community leaders, holding protests and calling attention to human rights abuses.
Government compliance with human rights
Some governments, especially in less developed countries, regularly abuse the rights of their citizens. Human rights campaigns try to stop this by calling on those governments to abide by human rights and calling attention to governments when they don't. This also applies to developed countries.
Explaining human rights so that the masses can understand
For human rights to be effective, people need to understand them and the reason they are there. This will encourage them to not only encourage the adoption of human rights, but to clamor for it as well for when they are not being oven their rights.
Human rights campaigns try to do this as it would make their objective of human rights realization infinitely easier.
There are other objectives that human rights campaigns hope for and they all try to ensure that human rights are adopted by all nations and given to all humans.
