Understanding Human Rights (In-person, Calgary)

Preamble to the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights – ratified in 1948. 

Whereas 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,

Whereas disregard and contempt for human rights have resulted in barbarous acts which have outraged the conscience of mankind, and the advent of a world in which human beings shall enjoy freedom of speech and belief and freedom from fear and want has been proclaimed as the highest aspiration of the common people,

Whereas it is essential, if man is not to be compelled to have recourse, as a last resort, to rebellion against tyranny and oppression, that human rights should be protected by the rule of law……..

This course will explore the evolution of human right concepts from 1948 to 2025.

How do human rights intertwine with union/workers’ rights?

What stands in the way of respect for human rights?
