National Sovereignty vs. Human Rights

By: Pruthvi, Dan, Aaron, and Branden

In Darfur, National Sovereignty is coming before Human Rights because the government is helping the Janjaweed even though they claim there not helping them, the government is not doing anything to stop the genocide (ethnic cleansing).

The human rights violated in the Darfur genocide are the following:

• All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. An example of this right being violated in Sudan is that people are being treated un-equally and they are not treating other people the way they would like to be treated.
• Everyone has the right to life, liberty, and the security of person. An example of this right being violated in Sudan is people are being killed left and right, and also, people are being starved to death beacuase of fammine.
• No one shall be subjected to tourture or to cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment.
• All are equal before the law, and are entitled without any discrimination to equal protect of the law.
• Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself, and of him family...an example would be that they are not being taken care of and they are living in refugee camps made of sticks and blankets.
