Topic Sentence: Clearly state the human rights issue you have chosen and why it is important.
Explanation: Explain the issue in more detail, including who is affected and how.
Xample/Evidence: Provide a real-world example, statistic, or fact that highlights the human rights violation.
Analysis: Explain how this example shows an infringement of human rights and which article of the UDHR is being violated.
Summary/Link: Conclude by summarizing your main point and explaining why this issue needs attention.

Exploring Human Rights

A commonly talked about human rights issue is mandates on vaccinations to have specific jobs. This is an issue, particularly in Australia, which effects people looking for work as well as understaffed workplaces. Legal Aid Vic states, "You can choose to not be vaccinated... However, this could mean losing your job." This is a clear human rights violation of article 23 of the UDHR which states "Everyone has the right to work... and to protection against unemployment." Whilst this is an important right, there are no laws that ratify this in Australia and since the UDHR is only a soft law it can not legally be enforced. Therefore, this issue needs attention because every person should have the right to work without being discriminated for not having a vaccination.

Article 5 - No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.

Torture and inhumane treatment strip individuals of their dignity and cause physical and psychological harm. Many governments and organisations around the globe keep on getting accused of using various torture methods to intimidate people and extract confessions, these methods are usually targeted on political activists and prisoners. Reports from Amnesty International show that detainees in various countries are tortured with electric shocks, waterboarding, and countless severe beatings in secret prisons. Brutal torture methods violate Article 5 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), which states 'No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.' These uses of torture doesn't just disregard human dignity, but undermines justice. Addressing this issue and demanding change is crucial for upholding fundamental human rights and ensuring justice systems operate fairly and ethically worldwide.
