No
cause can justify the abuse of human rights.
Human
security comes only with human rights and the rule of law. Human rights are the
basis for creating strong and accountable states without which there can be no
political stability or social progress.
The
world does not need a war against ‘terrorism’, it needs a culture of peace based
on human rights for all.
There
can be no peace without justice and respect for human rights. I passionately believe
in the power of human rights as a set of global values to bring our fractured
and divided world together. Around the world human rights activists are giving
hope to millions of people - women, indigenous people, the poor and the marginalised
- in their struggle for equality and dignity.
It's
been humbling and inspiring to meet people who have suffered so much and yet still
have courage and hope
There
is no excuse for human rights abuse, whether in the name of security or in the
name of liberation.”
