The philosophy of human rights is based on a social-humanist, legal-political spirit that harbors an axiological estimate, a deontology or a dikeology that is tied with the philosophy of ethical values. That is why human rights are said to be an integral set of values that reside in every person, these can be:
• Right to life with personal integrity: physical, mental and moral.
• Right to personal freedom to think, act and react with respect for oneself and others.
• Right to respect children and adolescents who expect a life of fulfillment, hunger, misery, abandonment and mistreatment.
• Right to freedom of expression.
• Respect for customs and religions, as long as there is no attempt on the life and conscience of others
• Right to freely assemble and associate considering legal and social regulations.
• Right to identity and nationality.
• Right to private property.
• Right to be heard before a fair trial in court within a reasonable, objective, independent and impartial period.
• Right to the presumption of innocence, as long as the evidence is presented
• Right to defense and non-discrimination based on political opinion, sex, ethnic diversity, religion or social level,.
• Right to decent work.
• Right to safe health in hospitals, clean and healthy environments.
• Right to culture, through free public education recognized by regional parameters.
• Right to protection and family assistance in any facet.
• Right to ethnic, sex and cultural diversity
• Right to food, clothing and adequate housing
• Right to a healthy and balanced environment for all living.
• Right to self-determination of peoples.
• Right to live in peace with security inside and outside the national territory.
• Right to sustainable economic and social human development guaranteed by current governments.
This philosophy promotes the theme of justice and other legal-political values, which, if they did not exist, would not be suitable to provide a sufficient and solid basis for the rights of the person.
With a normative order, rights are made up of social rules, which can be written or not written and belong to customary law. These norms are the descriptions of the behaviors of the people and of the will of their possessor, being the norms the ones in charge to describe the must be and to do with projection acceptable by the society.
The dikellogical dimension is the one that alludes to the value of justice. This value, has a valence, values in itself (what is added to the behaviors) and guides (criteria and normative bases, to carry out our behaviors). Therefore, the values are essences, they are worth by themselves, although the person does not know them or does not appreciate them. Courage is demanding, because it demands that everyone demonstrate it and apply it through conduct.
A Rule of Law that recognizes the fundamental rights (of man), the principle of the division of powers and the authority of the Law, will prevail and will be recognized by present and future generations. This is legalized and justified before society if we start from the knowledge and practice of Human Rights as the authority of all of us who live on this planet.
Therefore, I share the feeling of the meaning of human rights: «They are a set of faculties and institutions that at each historical moment specify the demands of freedom and human equality, which must be positively recognized by national legal systems and international ”, according to the Fray Francisco de Vitoria Center for Human Rights.
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights of December 10, 1948 indicates that all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights, therefore, we are living beings with a guarantee of protection, of regulated freedom, with the right to choose in a country democratic and with citizen participation when deciding which person we choose to represent us as ruler.
Consequently, the ratification of international human rights treaties, commit governments to implement national measures and laws consistent with the duties and obligations inherent in those treaties. The domestic legal system provides the main legal protection of human rights guaranteed by international law. When national legal procedures do not resolve human rights violations, there are mechanisms and procedures at the regional and international levels to deal with individual and group complaints, with a view to ensuring that international standards are respected, applied and enforced locally. in the field of human rights.
Praise for the respect of human rights in our country, Panama and in the rest of the world.
