The foundation of
Human Rights believes in the equality of rights for every human being. Several International Civil cases relates to
the violation of the International ethical standards but not in the domestic civil
rights code.
Becoming International and
global in the 21st century will bring not a rapid change but a
gradual domestic policy change to fit to the generally accepted International
ethical standards. Most of the International treaties and ethical guidelines
are patterned from the European and American regulation standards that may
sometimes contradict to the domestic policies of a given country. As of today, most of the Asian and ASEAN
countries are heavily affected with the Internationalization of policies.
A lot of programs regarding the ASEAN
community change, but in reality the core cultural values for each member
countries is so diverse that sometimes in pondering the realities of being
united is a vague thought. The center of
the problem that ASEAN leaders must consider is not the activities but rather
how the citizens of the member countries will accept the dramatic change of
life style for each ASEAN member countries affecting their daily living.
Human Rights are usually in a dilemma when the
general notion is not in parallel to the party.
In a practical observation, human rights are a long debatable issue that
will usually end up to an unresolved matter.
In addition, these unresolved issues will result to a swelling conflict
in the decades to come. Undeniably, the
synchronization of human rights and domestic policies is a long way to go in
terms of total civil and ethical standards harmonization.
Considering also the articulation of public
morality, human rights must somehow follow the world doctrine and politics
guided by the UN ratified guidelines.
Human rights guidelines of the United Nations are usually disseminated
by local government units in their respective area of responsibility. For this reason, fusing the conservative
domestic guidelines with International policies will gradually condition the
local domestic population to a more internationally accepted ethical standard.
