Human rights

Recognizing rights is the beginning of an effort to live and have free thinking, and a beginning for a developed society. Providing rights, is a development of the individual and the community. Raising awareness to citizens about their rights and duties, as well as protecting and defending them by the government, raises and increases the national, social and individual security level in the country. Both the concept of human rights and civil rights are directly related to the right to have a life and freedom. Human rights, are a set of rights that recognize the human life only, not skin color, race, nation, religion, and not even thought and logic. In the basic ideas of liberalism, the right to have a life and freedom is considered as natural rights everyone should possess. Governments are responsible for providing and protecting these rights, and it is the duty of citizens to defend and develop these rights. The right to express and write, to protest, to study, to live, freedom of clothing and to choose a way of life are some of the basic rights of every human. The basic principles of human rights are based on these four pillars: 1- "the sovereignty of law" (the equality of human beings before the law), 2- the sovereignty of mind and sense (not ideologies), 3- humanity (human beings are the source of power) and 4- the importance and role of individuals, the voice of the majority counts, but the rights of minorities will be protected. Therefore, human rights are not territorial and are not only applied in a certain location they break boundaries because there is nothing in the name of western human rights, eastern human rights, Islamic human rights, or Christian human rights. In today's world, human life and freedom, even democracy, are evaluated according to human rights criteria. "The Universal Declaration of Human Rights talks about human rights, not its values" said human rights researchers. Civil rights, is a set of rights that are interpreted within the framework of political geography, and the citizens of the country will own those rights under the law. Sociologists in this field are constantly talking about the general constitution of countries. In the modern world, a rational and democratic constitution cannot be discussed, without mentioning the principles of human rights. Although there’s a lot of similarities between these two terms (human rights and civil rights), but the subject of civil rights mostly belong to a specific country. The general constitution of a country is a contract between the state and its citizens of a particular country, which is regulated by the laws of the country. Civil rights are related to citizens and the general constitution, but human rights have global dimensions and play the role of law enforcement. Migrants in refugee-accepting countries are initially deprived of some of their national rights like being unable to participate in the elections, but live within the framework of human rights. The knowledge of individuals by their rights and duties, which must be legalized and protected by law, provides personality for the individual, and the basis of a democratic society. This is one of the main principles of the sovereignty of law. To achieve this, governments and institutions, civil society organizations and public media must play a key role. Legal-rights citizens, who follow the law, are the foundation of a democratic and rational society in which problems are resolved peacefully, and the tensions between citizens and the government are reduced more and more, and the country's national security is strengthened and increased. Freedom and law are the principles of a democratic society, which refers to both the meaning of human rights and civil rights. The balance between freedom and law is one of the most important tasks, and it is the duty of governments to create a rational balance between the two concepts. In order for the KRG to be able to take steps in this regard with a plan, it must first work on publishing information about human rights and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in a systematic wide-scale manner, as well as to instruct employees of government agencies to defend the rights of citizens. Civil social organizations, cultural and academy groups, as well as intellectual institutions, can have a huge impactful part in recognizing rights in the Kurdistan Region. The balance between "law" and "freedom" is the government's most difficult task, because "law" without "freedom" suffocates society, and "freedom" without "law" leads the society to a state of disarray.
