🇿🇦 Today South Africa commemorates Human Rights Day honouring those who gave their lives for equal human rights for all in the country.
The 1960s were characterised by systematic defiance and protest against apartheid and racism across the country. In 1960 in Sharpeville 69 people died and 180 were wounded when police fired on a peaceful crowd that had gathered in protest against the Pass laws.
🕊This month in South Africa is a heightened period to mark Human Rights Month, commemorated under the theme, “Three Decades of Respect for and Promotion of Human Rights”.
☝️Situation with human rights in the present-day world is exacerbated by double standard approach to assessing various situations and phenomena.
Despite multiple discussions on and reaffirmations of the principle of universality of human rights at various levels and seemingly general understanding of the essence of the matter, the issue of human rights is still used by some countries to serve their political interests.
🇷🇺 Russia is of the view that politicization of human rights is absolutely unacceptable. There can be no “teachers” or “students” in this area.
❗️The issue of human rights is too serious to make it a "token" in geopolitical "games", to use them to impose one's own will upon others.
