Human Right and Hypocrisy

Human right is the basic rights that a person has since he was in the womb of his mother. Human rights apply universally. The basics of human rights are contained in the declaration of independence of the United States (Declaration of Independence of the USA) while in Indonesia it is stated in the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia, such as article 27 paragraph 1, article 28, article 29 paragraph 2, article 30 paragraph 1, and article 31 verse 1

In its development, the human rights that we know today are something very different from the previous rights such as those in the American Declaration of Independence or the French Declaration. The human rights referred to now are a set of rights developed by the United Nations since the end of World War II that do not recognize various state boundaries. As a consequence, states are obliged to protect the human rights of all their citizens and foreigners residing in their territories. Likewise, foreign countries should not act arbitrarily with citizens of other countries. Human rights guarantee that every human being, regardless of where he comes from, from which country, whatever his skin color and whatever his religion, gets protection from arbitrariness from any party. 

But in everyday practice all this is nonsense. European countries and the United States, which are human rights mouthpieces, are nakedly displaying their hypocrisy about the human rights they glorify. So we conclude that for a strong western country, human rights only apply to their group and those who agree with them. But for people who are not in line with America and especially those who are Muslim, human rights do not apply. 

It's not hard to prove it. How many humans were slaughtered in Egypt by the military, how many Muslims were massacred in Central Africa and other parts of the world, but the perpetrators were not subject to human rights violations because the government massacred its people according to the wishes of the United States of America. 

The most special and invulnerable to human rights is shown by the Jewish Zionist state of Israel. They are free to kill Palestinians anytime anywhere. Almost every day they kill Palestinians, either in Gaza or the west bank. There has never been a human rights claim against them. Likewise, the massacres carried out by the Israeli army in Shabra and Shatila, Lebanon are not considered as human On the other hand, the Former President of Sudan is categorized as a war criminal because he suppressed an insurgency in southern Sudan that is supported by western countries. Our soldiers who carry out their duties in East Timor are also subject to human rights violations, because East Timor at that time was supported by western countries.

Based on the history of the country that violates human rights the most is the country that always campaigns for human rights itself, namely the United States. They just arbitrarily killed civilians in the Vietnam war, Cambodia, Laos, Afghanistan, Iraq, and others. In conclusion, human rights are a hypocritical culture of western countries. rights violations.

 However, it is very unfortunate that Arab countries or Muslims who are always victims are not moved to fight this injustice both organizationally and stately. It seems they are willing to be victims.
