 <title>No More Delay for the Establishment of UN Human Rights Council</title>
 <link>http://www.paxromana.org/node/233</link>
 <description> &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Press Release of Pax Romana&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Pax Romana would like to welcome the Draft Resolution on &lt;a class=&quot;glossary-term&quot; href=&quot;glossary#term51&quot;&gt;&lt;acronym title=&quot;Human Rights: Privileges claimed or enjoyed by every human being by virtue of being human. The concept developed from the Roman idea of &amp;#039;natural law&amp;#039;. Early milestones in establishing human rights include the British Magna Carta (1215), Habeas Corpus Act (1679) and Bill of Rights (1689). None of these were as fundamentally comprehensive as the US Bill of Rights (1788) or France&amp;#039;s Declaration of the Rights of Man (1789). During the nineteenth century, human rights began to be enshrined in international law, best illustrated by the Geneva Conventions, a series of treaties which governed the humane treatment of civilians, soldiers and prisoners during times of war.
The UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights was adopted in 1948. It stated that people have the right to life, liberty and education; to freedom of movement, religion, association and information; to a nationality and to equality before the law. Many nations still deny their citizens basic rights. &quot;&gt;Human Rights&lt;/acronym&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Council released in New York (February 23rd, 2006), by The President of 60th Session &lt;a class=&quot;glossary-term&quot; href=&quot;glossary#term118&quot;&gt;&lt;acronym title=&quot;UN: United Nations&quot;&gt;UN&lt;/acronym&gt;&lt;/a&gt; General Assembly, H.E. Mr. Jan Eliasson. This draft resolution is the result of intensive negotiations among the UN member states to define the modality of the Human Rights Council, which will replace the discredited Commission on Human Rights. The General Assembly will discuss this draft resolution for its adoption.&lt;/p&gt; </description>
