Centre for Human Rights may refer to:
Human rights are moral principles or norms, that describe certain standards of human behavior, and are regularly protected as legal rights in municipal and international law. They are commonly understood as inalienable fundamental rights "to which a person is inherently entitled simply because she or he is a human being," and which are "inherent in all human beings" regardless of their nation, location, language, religion, ethnic origin or any other status. They are applicable everywhere and at every time in the sense of being universal, and they are egalitarian in the sense of being the same for everyone. They require empathy and the rule of law and impose an obligation on persons to respect the human rights of others. They should not be taken away except as a result of due process based on specific circumstances; for example, human rights may include freedom from unlawful imprisonment, torture, and execution.
The Maastricht Centre for Human Rights facilitates and supports research in the field of human rights at Maastricht University’s Faculty of Law. Research conducted at the center is interdisciplinary, with a focus on public international law, criminal law, criminology and other relevant social sciences. The center favors research themes that contribute to a better society within the context of the process of globalization and that raise fundamental questions about human rights (as opposed to mere technicalities).

Al Jazeera speaks to Nabeel Rajab, President of the Bahrain Centre for Human Rights. In comments to Al Jazeera, Rajab said violence is continuing in Bahrain and that the Bahrain Independent Commission of Inquiry (BICI) report is unlikely to cause a drastic shift in the Gulf kingdom's handling of on-going protests. Rajab also went on to say that the abuse against protesters being investigated was likely dictated from top ministries and not just a few policemen.

Human Rights Day in South Africa is historically linked with 21 March 1960, and the events of Sharpeville. On that day 69 people died and 180 were wounded when police fired on a peaceful crowd that had gathered in protest against the Pass laws. This day marked an affirmation by ordinary people, rising in unison to proclaim their rights. It became an iconic date in South Africa's history that today we commemorate as Human Rights Day as a reminder of our rights and the cost paid for our treasured human rights. On 21 March 2016, Human Rights Day is celebrated with a special focus on the eradication of racism in South Africa.

Where are human rights in a land illegally occupied since 1967? The right to life is denied: drone attacks, assassinations, full military attack, means of production destroyed, and more. 60% of people in Gaza are refugees driven from their homes and land. Israel sealed them in--no exit for medical care, education, family visits except for rare exceptions. A nuclear power using all the modern weapons from Europe and the US claims Gaza is an existential threat!!! Israel prevents rebuilding electric power, sewer system, factories, farms, homes. Israeli Courts deny basic human rights, All these crimes are tolerated by the superpowers and the UN is prevented from intervening by one member with veto power. Even the use of boycott which was grudgingly approved against the S. Africa aparthei...

"Man shall not live by bread alone
Lay not up your treasures upon earth"
Thousands listen to the master's words
Thrown to the wind 'cause their hearts were not present
People don't believe in miracles anymore
Human Rights
"Some foreign organization might be supporting you"
Lights, camera, stampede and looting
The powerful men and the saints wanted the leader
(Where are the) Human Rights?
The followers lost faith
Many who dreamt of power are destroyed
The press is a daily vampire
Street kids steal and they are mistaken
For the apostoles
During the riot an extermination group of policemen shoot
both
Lords and slaves want everything easily
Human rights
Clubbing and kicking
Blindfolded eyes
Human rights
