Human Rights Day Message: UN Contradicts Its Own Values with Unjust Restrictions

On December 10, World Human Rights Day, Cyprus Health Tourism Council President Dr. Ahmet Savaşan, Pointing out that the United Nations contradicts its own values with its unjust restrictions on the Turkish Cypriot People's enjoyment of fundamental human rights and freedoms, he pointed out that the world and humanity need a new concept of human rights.

Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted on December 10, 1948, about three years after World War I, states that “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 brotherhood.” Ahmet Savaşan, He pointed out that it is important to remember that these are the words of people who have seen what a world full of crimes against humanity based on race and religion looks like.

HUMANITY STILL HAS A LONG WAY TO GO...

Emphasizing that even the right to life, the most fundamental right mentioned in the Declaration, is violated with various discriminations in many geographies of the world today Ahmet Savaşan, He underlined that humanity still has a long way to go in realizing these principles.

THE UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS REMAINS AN IDEAL...

Stating that although freedoms, which have been discussed since the Magna Carta, are accepted as a measure of civilization in 21st century democracies, they are still one of the great wounds of humanity Ahmet Savaşan, “What is happening in the Middle East and Africa today is an indication that the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, like all similar declarations, remains only an ideal. However, these fundamental principles must no longer be a utopia of rights and freedoms, but must become the reality of all humanity.”.

THE SOLUTION IS IN THE HANDS OF HUMANITY...

Noting that in order to realize these principles, all countries should take it as their duty to prevent violations of rights, he said Ahmet Savaşan, He noted that the real solution to the problem lies in the hands of all humanity with every individual.

At the end of his message, Savaşan said, “On the 72nd anniversary of the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which is a beacon of hope and a turning point for humanity despite everything, I wish all people to live in peace, friendship, peace and brotherhood without any discrimination.’.
