Violation of the Universal

Declaration of Human
Rights

1) All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and
rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and
should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.

This is being violated because people are killing each other

everyday in South Africa. This is clearly being violating
because no one should walk down the street and be shot or
mugged.

2) Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of

person.

This is being violated because everyone is not in a secure

environment. This is because constantly people break into
each other’s houses without thinking about laws or any
punishment for doing this action. No one is living like they
have the right to live.

3) No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with

his privacy, family, home or correspondence, nor to
attacks upon his honor and reputation. Everyone has the
right to the protection of the law against such interference
of attacks.
This is being violated because when people are walking
along the street and get mugged or rapped this is a
deliberate act of invading space. This is why this right is
being broken in South Africa.

4) No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhumane

or degrading treatment or punishment.

This is being violated because when people are getting

murdered they are being tortured and treated in an
inhuman way and this should not go on in any country. The
cruel torture is one of the worst in the whole world.

5) Everyone has the right to rest and leisure, including

reasonable limitation of working hours and periodic
holidays with pay.

This is being violated because there are no laws about how

much pay should be given. Children are also working at a
young age for little or no pay and this is truly wrong.
Businesses do not have rights in South Africa like they
would have in countries like Canada.

6) Everyone is entitled to a social and international order in

which the rights and freedoms set forth in this
Declaration can be fully realized.

Overall this right is broken which basically means that all

South African are not getting the full benefit of the
Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Every person in the
world disserves to have these rights and the majority of
people in South Africa do not have these rights and that is
wrong.
