 Introduction

International Human Rights Activism has often overtaken the issues concerning the social or economic justice because of its primary concern with issues of civil and political rights . The activists involved in human rights work will have to deal with the economic, social and cultural rights such as food ,housing ,health and similar matters. In many countries of the world , access to food ,shelter and education by the individual or groups is largely denied.

 Human rights

Human divinity is unique .Human dignity and well being is the foundation of Human rights. The collective conviction of nations that respect for human rights for all men in all lands was the sine qua non peace and progress ,made it functional compulsion bill of rights and mechanism to monitor their observance .Each and every human being by virtue of his or her existence is a holder of rights and promote , protect and fulfill.

 Women rights

Volunteering, Reaching Out for Reconciliation & Peace

Women are the largest minority in the world and suffer suppression of personality. Not withstanding the International Women’s Year ( 1975 ) and U.N. Decade for women ( 91976-1985 ), the lot of feminine gender in the Human species leaves much to be desired if equality as a dynamic right belongs to them. Health, employment, participation in all fields, education, training, modification of discriminatory by-laws and so on, are the equality packages.

 World Peace

Entire man kind is engulfed by a multi - dimensional crises effecting the political, economic conflicts ,moral and spiritual life, high crime rate among the children ,human behavior and above all the peace in the individuals .

There is a need of attitudinal changes which will prevent religious, linguistic and economic conflicts. The concept of spiritual oneness was the only solution for achieving peace, harmony the world over. Coalition for peace in which youngsters should be involved. The efforts should be made through educationists, religious leaders and the younger generation. Every country’s rich culture and philosophy can thrive only when there is a peaceful resolution of problems. In this direction, The U.N. Security Council takes up the responsibility of protecting the borders of nations.

 Conclusion

These are some of the issues that should engage the attention of world economic and Government leaders in the years to come for providing effective Social Security for the Human Life and World Peace at large.
