 * __Background __**<span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt">: The issue of human rights is a very broad subject. From capital punishment to child labor, violations of human rights occur everywhere and should not be tolerated. “Four children die every as a result of child abuse and three out of four of these victims are under the age of 4.” The rights of people <span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'">and rights of the child have been neglected worldwide. There are many areas of human rights. An example of a human rights violation is the landmines issue. In a widespread amount of land throughout the world there are minefields and people don't know anything about them. They simply walk through a field and have their legs blown off. This is a serious issue because countless numbers of children and people die or loose limbs and it is not their fault, but the government's. Another undecided topic is capital punishment. There have been many discussions on the possibility of it being a human rights violation. For this reason, we have international laws that lay the foundation for all human rights.
 * __<span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'">U.N. Involvement __**<span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'">: The Universal Declaration of Human Rights was created by the U.N. stating that the “… recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world…” another U.N. organization that strives for the betterment of all human rights is OHCHR. “ The mission <span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'">of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights is to protect and promote all human rights for all.  OHCHR promotes universal ratification and implementation of human rights treaties.”
 * __<span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'">Country Policy __**<span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'">: Thailand feels that human rights should be recognized. In Chapter 3: Rights and Liberties of the Thai People, Section 26 declares: “In exercising powers of all State authorities, regard shall be had to human dignity, rights and liberties in accordance with the provisions of this Constitution.” Thailand has striven to ensure that “All persons are equal before the law and shall enjoy equal protection under the law. Men and women shall enjoy equal rights.” We have made several advances in this department, but this issue is far from being resolved.
 * __<span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'">Solutions __**<span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'">: For the reasons stated above Thailand the following solutions. To start, we propose a new orginization called A.R.G. This organization is the Association for Rights and Goodness. We will post a delegate from each country to unearth the current problems with human rights. They will meet once or twice a month depending on the amount of issues to confront; each time focusing on a different problem. These problems may include child prostitution, child labour, women's rights, rights of the people, and much more. Working alongside the delegates will be a team of peacekeepers to rid the world of problems such as landmines. A second solution for the landmines issue would be to gather funds and distribute them equally to nations with the problem. A final solution to this broad subject would be to create a system where people could annonymously report human rights violations so that no harm comes to them, but the U.N. could fix the problem without controversey.
