The Human Rights
On 10 December 1948, the General Assembly of the United Nations adopted and proclaimed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the full text of which appears in the following pages. Following this historic act, the Assembly called upon all Member countries to publicize the text of the Declaration and "to cause it to be disseminated, displayed, read and expounded principally in schools and other educational institutions, without distinction based on the political status of countries or territories."
In my opinion the most important human rights are:
- Racism: this is prejudice based on the actitude or belief that people of other races are inferior.
- Xenofobia: this is a hatred or fear of foreigners or strangers or of their politics or culture.
Article 2:
Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status. Furthermore, no distinction shall be made on the basis of the political, jurisdictional or international status of the country or territory to which a person belongs, whether it be independent, trust, non-self-governing or under any other limitation of sovereignty.
- Slavery: "relationship wereby one person has absolute power over another and controls his life, liberty and furtune". Also "work done in harsh conditions for low pay"
Article 4:
No one shall be held in slavery or servitude; slavery and the slave trade shall be prohibited in all their forms.
- Genocide: this is the policy of deliberately destroying a nationality or ethnic group.
- Hostage: this is someone who held by person or organisation as segurity until something is done which will ensure their release.
But I think that all the human rights are importants and they should exist in a perfect world!
The New of Human Rights!
Bush brushes off shoe attack
Last 14th December George Bush, the president of the USA went to a Baghdad press conference where an Iraqi journalist threw him his shouted “This is a goodbye kiss from the Iraqi people, dog”.
Bush shunned the shoes and was unhurt but after this incident the journalist, called Muntadar al-Zaidi, was arrested under the Iraq’s national security and he suffered a broken arm, broken ribs and internal bleeding and after started a Judicial Council against him: “his sentence could be seven to 15 year in prison” said Mr Birqadr. The head of Iraq’s hournalists asked clemency towards al-Zaidi because he says that his action was “strange and unprofessional”.

The News!
Barça back to their best (2-0)
Barca were back to their best tonight at the Nou Camp as they saw off Bilbao with first half goals from Sergio Busquets and Messi, before putting on a thrilling attacking second half performance.
Barca can take a host of positive conclusions from the game as they recovered their trademark attacking style, created endless chances, kept another clean sheet and with Madrid being held 1.1 by Atletico at the Santiago Bernabeu, they also stretched their lead at the top to six points. The only negative point for Barca was Puyol’s late injury which saw him carried off in some pain.

The asteroid DD45
A fifty meter wide asteroid passed close to the earth on Monday. The astronomer who spotted the asteroid said that there was nothing to worry about.
The asteroid called DD45 passed within twice the height of the satelites that gwe depend on for comunications. McNaught, who watches for asteroids with his telescope northwest of Sydney, Australia, discovered the approaching rock last week."It's not something to worry about, but something to be aware of," he said.
"If discovered in advance and with enough lead time, there is the possibility of pushing it off course, if you have decades of advance warning," McNaught said. "If you have only a few days, you can evacuate the area of impact, but there's not a great deal [else] you can do."
A global catastrophe was very unlikley he said, even thought hundreds of asteroids pass clode to the earth every year.
The 2009 DD45 asteroid circles the sun every 18 months, but its path will not threaten this planet at least for the next century, he said.
