Preamble

We hold human rights law to be the primary manifestation of logical conduct in politics and society. The disregard for such conduct has been the precursor to all violations of the sanctity of human existence the cogent punishment of which has been laxly enforced by conventional international institutions. The lack of this enforcement has been the defining political atrocity of our era and the victim has been human rights

.
The actions of past international institutions for the maintenance of expansion of human rights have been duly noted. In the same spirit that the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was written, so too do we espouse these values in their totality. The undeniable realization of such conventions are the driving force of what inspires humanitarians to continue believing in their capacity to expand upon the transitionary interlude of human rights and give rise to a world where they are pillars of political discourse

.
As a natural consequence to the enforcement of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Articles of Affirmation outline the most important stipulations contained in this revolutionary document for primary and undeniable realization. This approach is based on the assumption that the less fundamental schemas contained in the UDHR must become the necessary objects of prioritization. Human rights, of any from, cannot be built on the foundations of uncertainly and gaping ethical questions. They must be built on the fundamental aspects of human existence, right to life above all else, and enforced as a unchangeable core of what governs our relations as a species.

A healthy observation of human rights is the foundation of good and successful governance. It is no coincidence that the most powerful states are, relatively speaking, the most humanistic ones. This is not, however, an excuse to entrust the development of a standard of humanitarian conduct to national-states since the corrosive aspects  of national interest have led these units to make human rights vassals to fulfilling a self-interested agenda. Human rights must be defended by those with the most understanding of them. And while nations have given rise to the crop of human rights laws we have today, they are, at best, negligently enforced. This is to do the same factional interests that have stopped the United Nations from working in the light that its founders hoped that it would: as a unified international entity rather than a loose conglomeration of warring factions.

 

Part 1: Rights 

 

Article 1

Right to Life

Everybody has the right to be alive. All humans have an inalienable endowment of their existence that may not be arbitrarily denied by any individual or collective without sufficient cause mandated by a recognizably humane legal code. The right to life may not be arbitrarily taken away in symbolic, direct, or indirect terms by any actor. States have a responsibility to a promote an environment where humans can live without the threat of an unnatural death as well as the responsibility to give people the means and modes of survival.

Any state deemed not having conformed to these standards, open themselves up to intervention under the responsibility to protect doctrine of the United Nations that invokes a state of conditional sovereignty. A government not being able to provide its citizens with adequate security leave  supranational or multilateral actors the right to intervene to restore order.

Any individual deemed not having conformed to these standards must be punished to the full extent of the law depending on the scope and nature of the crime. If local legal systems are corrupt, unjust, too lenient, or promote punishments not in keeping with this document supranational and multilateral institutions reserve the right to intervene

Any ideological incitement to deprive of the right to life should be seen as a first-degree violation of this document and punished appropriately. It should also be seen as the precursor to further illegal action.
 

 
Article 2

Part II: Enforcement

 

Article 14

Supranational Intervention

The rights and freedoms outlined henceforth in this document are to be enforced cogently and efficiently by a nationally-transcendent institution to avoid the corrosive national interests that have rendered human rights a great difficulty to enforce in the current international environment.

The laws passed and the decisions made pertaining to the international system by a supranational authority are binding. Nations must enforce and respect them or else face both domestic and international sanctions. In the interests of subsidiarity, however, it is not permitted for the supranational body to subsume the role of the government or instruct it on issues other than those involving vital human security.

 

Article 15

National Enforcement 

Measures must be taken that close the gap between international and national law. When nations sign a multilateral treaty on human rights, new provisions must be introduced that obligates them to ratify it as well, or else the words of such documents are empty.

Nations are not and cannot be expected to enforce any humanitarian documents signed in the past or in the future. The mission to enforce them, however, relies on the consent and cooperation of national-states with a nationally-transcendent diplomatic body as well as negotiated action and competent oversight.

In the interests of enforcing binding agreements, the supranational authority must maintain a stake in domestic society in the form of either a popular movement grounded in civil society or a governmental council who’s sway ensures compliance with supranational directives.

 

 

Article 16

Building Domestic Platforms

What is done on the supranational level cannot be disjointed from events on the domestic level. A supranational organization must have a basis in society for the sake of fairness to the peoples it represents and practicality. There must be representation for supranational values on domestic platforms to allow those who support a supranational movement on the grassroots level some kind of representation and political mobility.

 

 

Article 17

Creation of Codified Procedure

International covenants must be given greater pull in the daily workings of the international system. Because conventional international institutions are dominated by states, they have become a collision ground for different laws, customs, and ways of dealing with political problems. Such chaos must be circumvented in the interests of creating a codified response to threats to international security and well-being which must be preceded by creating the necessary organs capable of executing such tasks.

 

Article 18

Financial Independence

The cogent defense of human rights must be undertaken by political units with the ability to act independently of national whims. For this purpose, mainstay funding must be derived from a popular movement of civil society and well-to-do philanthropists that manifest the resources and support necessary to launch a supranational humanitarian organization.

 

Article 19

Continuation of Multilateralism

The creation of a nationally-transcendent enforcer of human rights must not suddenly precipitate the necessity for international organizations like the United Nations as these bodies provide a very important diplomatic forum and framework for negotiation as well as presenting a check on supranational power.
