CHR marks United Nations Day with renewed call for respect of people’s rights

In a statement, the CHR stressed the promotion of peace and respect for human rights 74 years ago laid the foundation for the founding of the United Nations .

She explained under the UN Charter the use of force is only allowed under two exceptions and any state action opposing this is a “breach of international law. “Furthermore, ‘human rights’ was mentioned 7 times in the Charter, making the respect, protection, and promotion of human rights the guiding principle of the organization,” she added.

“It is within this declaration that the Commission, cognizant of the recent rise of inter and intra-state wars, calls for peace and reminds states to respect international law. The universalization of the prohibition of the use of force is as important as the universalization of human rights,” De Guia said in a statement.
