Human rights for all

Saturday was Human Rights Day, so it is a good time to reflect on the common goal of human rights for all.

Fulfilling such a shared aspiration requires different countries to learn and cooperate with each other. This will create healthy and effective global governance and help build human rights. Sadly, the current global landscape provides a sharp contrast to such aims.

Certain Western countries while turning a blind eye to their own deep-rooted human rights issues, such as rampant gun crime, refugee crises and growing xenophobia, display a double standard on human rights, alongside a sense of superiority.
