The Human Rights Dimension of Discrimination and ‘Positive Discrimination
Journal Title: Journal of the Human and Social Science Researches - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
Discrimination fact is a multidimensional problem that needs to be examined in detail. Discrimination is a psychological problem because it can be caused by personal features. It is also a sociological problem because it can be affected by social and intergroup relations. By the way it is a legal problem because it undermines the principle of equality in the law. When political decisions and regulations in the country cause discrimination or when discrimination cannot be prevented by regulations and decisions the discrimination problem emerges as a political problem. On other hand, discrimination is a ‘human rights’ violation and a fundamental human rights issue. In this essay, it is suggested that while combatting discrimination the human rights dimension is usually ignored. In this framework, it is argued that the application of positive discrimination would not possible to be successful if the human rights dimension of the problem is ignored.
