Setting
It is important to think about what countries like Nepal have gained and lost before and after The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). This is by no means meant to devalue or ignore the Universal Declaration. But abandoning one’s original ideologies and traditional practices can be costly. If we look at the past examples of some democratic countries giving their own favourable interpretations and practices, this does not seem to be without controversy.
Effective promotion of human rights cannot ignore global power shifts. The traditional role of the West in promoting human rights is insufficient. Building new alliances should focus on broad interpretations of human rights and universally accepted practices. In addition, such new alliances should be active in efforts to promote human rights around the world and also in leadership roles. But such coalitions cannot be built without significant shifts in the policy and approach of the world’s leading democracies.
The effective defence of human rights requires new commitments – to diligently respect human rights in one’s own conduct, to insist on accountability for serious abuses regardless of who is the perpetrator, to consistently promote human rights without favouring allies or strategic partners, and to access.
RADD is fully committed to the issues of human rights that the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) has risen along with its simplicity of vision that causes it to be accessible to people of all ages, races, sexes, and conditions. We agree that awareness and capacity building, alliances and sincere commitment are needed to reform the traditional practice of human rights and harmonise them with the Universal Declaration.
The main outcomes we expect to bring through our human rights programs is strengthening respect for human rights and basic freedoms and preserve and protect Human Rights Defenders (HRD). Besides these expectations, it advocates and pressurised to the concerned authority to insist on accountability for serious abuses regardless of the perpetrator, to promote human rights consistently without favouritism for allies or strategic partners.
