    FREEDOM V. HUMAN RIGHTS:

    Freedom in relation to Human Rights is very broad and complex. For


    one, the very basic human right is an individual’s right to life, liberty and
    property. Under the Declaration, everyone has to the right to be free from
    slavery. Everyone enjoys free speech; right to work and earn living; right to
    choose a religion or not to join one.

    What is freedom then? Is it a concept enjoyable by each and every


    person? Or only the one entitled thereto?

    In Human Rights, freedom is one of the standards that a human being is


    entitled to; and the State’s obligation to ensure.

    Freedom however has its limitation.


    STATE ACTORS:

    Human Rights are standard of norms for people to live with dignity,
    freedom, equality, justice and peace. To achieve this, the State has to act
    accordingly.

    Human Rights system however involved not only the individual person
    in international law but the States as well. Human Rights involvement in the
    international level is usually coursed through States.

     The role of states as protectors and enforcers of human rights are


    particularly given in every society. States have an obligation to promote
    respect for Human Rights. The state actors involved are the state sponsored
    organizations. This is not only to observe but to promote, including education
    and propagation through different agencies like ministry of education or
    ministry of welfare.

    NON-STATE ACTORS:

    Non-State actors are not government sponsored organizations. These


    include Rights groups which not only promote but monitor Human Rights
    violations by the State.

    Non-State actors may also violate human rights. Hence, Non-State


    actors could be any group, non-government in character, which either protect
    human rights or destroy the same.
