Journal Title: International Journal of Interdisciplinary and Multidisciplinary Studies (IJIMS) - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Children are the blooming buds in the garden of any nation as well as the whole world. They are the potential citizen of the world i.e., society of the tomorrow. But most of the children are the victims of the non-human beings. They are exploited, oppressed and tormented by the money-owner, due to there poverty and the lack of proper school education. They are working in mines, restaurants, hotels, glass – houses factories, private houses, shopping malls and we have snatched away their basic rights of their education of their healthy life. The Fundamental Rights as well as Direction of State Policy of each democratic country try to protect children form exploitation, oppression and torture. But Fundamental Rights are unable to give protection children fully and hence Human Rights emerge as a special institutional organization to save the children of each country as well as the whole world. Actually Human Rights are rights inherent to all human beings, whatever our nationality, place of residence, sex, national or ethnic origin, color, religion , language or any other status. We are all equally entitled to our Human Rights without discrimination. These Rights are all interrelated, interdependent and expressed and guaranteed by law, in form of treaties, customary international law, and general principles and other sources of international law. International Human Rights Law lays down obligation of governments to act in certain ways or to protect Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms of individual or groups. In 1993 Vienna World Conference on Human Rights, for example, noted that it is the duty of states to promote and protect all Human Rights and Fundamental Freedom regardless of their political, economical and cultural system. Throughout the world, children are exploited and oppressed. In Britain, the literary figures such as William Blake, Charles Dickens have depicted the non – human actions of the adults upon the children. Henry Vaughan, William Wordsworth - they have glorified the childhood days as happy one. But the life of children is still now problematic. Instead of proper education, care of parents, they are working in the streets, in the tea shop, in the factory. We are unable to give proper nourishment to our future citizens of the world. Is it not a shame of our civilization? In a line, the Rights of children to be healthy, educated are violated by us who have become obstacles of their progress. The Human Rights of the children are violated in this earth and there are at least 120 million children between the age of 5 to 14 who are working as the full time basis and this information is given by ILO Beaureau of Statistics 2000, an organization for the protection of children from child-labor. It also indicates states that Asia alone covers almost 60 per cent of total child–labor of the world, whereas 32 per cent Africa and 7 per cent in Latin America. Another source, ILO Estimates and projection, 2005 has given the following percentage of economically active children in Asia between 10 – 14 years of age.
