Way in year 2004, the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights commission concludes a high level
segment involving a cluster of nations developed and developing to
advocate economic, social and cultural rights in line with civil
and political rights and terrorism. North Korea together with
China, United Kingdom of Great Britain, France and India and many
more declared under the international covenant of economic, social
and cultural rights (ICESC) and the international covenant of civil
and political rights (ICCP).
Two protocols to run in conjunction
with the universal human rights to respect human dignity, rights
and obligations a fellow human being should enjoy.
The purpose of the 2006 resolution
in response to Pyongyang two nuclear tests restricted arms deals,
nuclear technology and weaponry, travel bans, assets freezes and
imports of luxury goods denied North Koreans the privileges an
ordinary citizen by virtue of his or her spending power the rights
to access to luxury goods, contrary to Article 1 and 25 of the
ICESC. http://www2.ohchr.org/english/law/cescr.htm
The nuclear arm tests or nation’s
nuclear race for power should be a separate issue to contend with
and should not be omitted in the 2006 resolution to punish North
Koreans including taking away their own means of subsistence. Human
beings have differents level of needs and satisfaction according to
the most basic Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. This could range in
ascending order from psychology, safety, love/belonging. esteem and
self-actualization. I would not propose that all levels of the said
theory needs to be fulfilled because if we compared across
developing nations, there are far more people who are in dying
needs and starvation every day. However, I beseech that depriving
their citizens’ the basic rights to humanity is not a gentleman act
to stir a storm. Beside, according to John Feffer, the two nuclear
tests are unverifiable between a satellite and a long-range
ballistic missile and unknown to most what Pyongyang is up to his
sleeve again.
It would be best to lift
the particular clause and treat fellow humans with
dignity and rights according to the Universal Declaration of Human
Rights.
