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.


  1. 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.


  1. 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.




  1. 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.


  1. 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.


  1. 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.
