Human rights education (HRE) is the learning process that seeks to build up knowledge, values, and proficiency in the rights that each person is entitled to. This education teaches students to examine their own experiences from a point of view that enables them to integrate these concepts into their values, decision-making, and daily situations.[1] According to Amnesty International, HRE is a way to empower people, training them so their skills and behaviors will promote dignity and equality within their communities, societies, and throughout the world.[2]
The "National Economics and Social Rights Initiative" stated the importance of Non-Discrimination in HRE. Governments must see to it that it is exercised without bias to race, gender, color, religion, language, national or social origin, political or personal opinion, birth, or any status. All students, parents, and communities possess the right to take part in decisions affecting their respective schools and the right to education.[3]
History
The "Universal Declaration of Human Rights" is acknowledged as a landmark document in human rights history. It states that basic human rights require protection and that every person is entitled to a certain base amount of rights and freedoms through it. This is believed to be the most influential document used to determine what qualifies as human rights and how to implement these ideas and rights into everyday life. It was translated into more than 500 languages worldwide[4] and was drafted by representatives from various countries and regions with varying legal and cultural experiences. The declaration was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on December 10, 1948, making this annual Human Rights Day ever since.[5] To this day, the 30 article compilation stands and states that this document is, "a common standard of achievement for all peoples and all nations".[6]
Education on these ideals was addressed in 1953 with the UNESCO Associated Schools Program, which served as an "initial attempt to teach human rights in formal school settings".[7] The emphasis on educating the next generations progressed in 1995 with the beginning of the United Nations' Decade for HRE. The first formal request though came about in UNESCO's 1974 article "Recommendation concerning Education for International Understanding, Cooperation and Peace, and Education relating to Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms."[8] The participants of the International Congress on the Teaching of Humans Rights eventually met in 1978 to form a specific definition of what would be required in formal curriculum. The aims that Congress agreed on included the encouragement of tolerant attitudes with a focus on respect, providing knowledge of human rights in the context of national and international dimensions as well as their implementations, and finally developing awareness of human rights translating into reality whether social or political on national and international levels.
Human Rights Education became an official international concern after the World Conference on Human Rights in 1993. This conference brought the issue of formally educating to many countries,' and eventually the United Nations, attention. In 1995, the UN approved the Decade for HRE, which reformed the aims of the application once again.[9] Since this development by the UN, the incorporation of HRE into formal school curriculum has been developed and diversified with the assistance of nongovernmental organizations, intergovernmental organizations, and individuals dedicated to spreading the topic through formal education.
The Asia-Pacific Center for Education for International Understanding (APCEIU) and the United Nations Academic Impact mutually organized the 2018 United Nations Global Citizenship Education Seminar at the UN Headquarters in New York City. These seminars help progress HRE by bringing people together to form new ideas and concepts to improve the movement.[10] Advocates for HRE believe it is crucial because it imparts and spreads out the human rights vocabulary and provides students with the ability to take a critical approach towards human rights.[11]
Progressing development
The demand for HRE continued to grow globally in 2022 as the United Nations Global Compact,[12] in cooperation with the Principles for Responsible Management Education, invite[s] companies to sign the open letter calling on academic institutions to integrate business and human rights topics into their curriculum." This was begun because these groups believe, "academic institutions are well-positioned to prepare future business leaders to manage the human rights impacts of their companies."[13]
The Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) continues to promote HRE by supporting national and local initiatives for HRE within the context of its Technical Cooperation Programs[14] and through the ACT Project which subsidizes the grassroots projects.[15] The ACT or Assisting Communities Together Project is the collaboration between the OHCHR and the United Nations Development Program (UNDP)[16] to make grants available for civil society organizations that are implementing human rights activities in local communities. The OHCHR also takes care of coordinating the World Program for Human Rights Education which aims to, "promote a common understanding of basic principles and methodologies of human rights education, to provide a concrete framework for action and to strengthen partnerships and cooperation from the international level down to the grassroots." This is a more adaptable program, unlike the decade-long one. It focuses on a different issue every few years and tries to strengthen HRE in a different way.[17]
Education
The OHCHR developed human rights education training materials and resource tools such as the Database on human rights education and the Training,[18] the Resource Collection on Human Rights Education and Training,[19] and the web section on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.[4]
HRE as also started to be offered in the school curriculum. For example, linked subjects like History, Politics and Citizenship incorporated human rights training, but there are also specialized courses, such as "Human Rights", offered as part of the International Baccalaureate Diploma program for high school students. In order to pass the course students are required to study for two years, take a final examination and produce coursework. As part of their diploma program, students may also choose to write their Extended Essay on Human Rights in the form of a 4000-word research paper. (The IB Human Rights syllabus that includes the assessment criteria, as well as the guide for the Human Rights Extended Essay can be acquired from the International Baccalaureate Organization, but here is a small portion: IB Human Rights )
Some cities in the world have adopted a municipal law to stimulate successfully the HRE in the public schools, as the example of the Municipal Plan of HRE of the city of São Paulo (Decreto Nº 57.503, DE 6 DE Dezembro de 2016), in Brazil.[20]
Models
There are four models that emerged to help categorize HRE in formal and informal education sectors: values and awareness, accountability, transformation, and socioecoethical. To help guide HRE in the right direction, they set up "goals, target groups and other practical elements of educational programming, such as content and methodologies."[21]
1. Values and awareness The Values and Awareness Model focuses on transmitting "basic knowledge of human rights issues and fostering its integration into public values." This model is what people commonly think of when human rights are concerned with the target audience, the general public, understanding global human rights and more cultural-based matters.[22] Another way of phrasing it is to say that "this model is focused on the knowledge of human rights issues and its integration into public values."[23]
2. Accountability The Accountability Model is associated with the legal and political approach to human rights in which the learners that the model targets are already involved via professional roles. The model is incorporated by means of training and networking, covering topics such as court cases, codes of ethics, and how to deal with the media.[24] This model is "linked with the individual and his or her professional role" and is, "oriented towards the infusion of HRE within the training of government personnel so as to help ensure that they respect human rights in carrying out their responsibilities."[25]
3. Transformational This model of education focuses on the psychological and sociological aspects of human rights. The topics towards which this model is effective are those including vulnerable populations and people with personal experiences effected by the topic, such as women and minorities. The model aims to empower the individual, such as those victims of abuse and trauma. The model is geared towards recognizing the abuse of human rights but is also committed to preventing these abuses.[26] The transformational model, "highlights the empowerment of disadvantaged groups for organizing collectively, not only to carry out human rights activism but to carry forward social change more generally." It is, "more accurately described as promoting a goal of social change, incorporating both “activism” including collective action and community development as well as undertaking individual actions to reduce violations in one’s personal life and immediate environment."[27]
4. Munir's socioecoethical model of human rights education This model is Munir Moosa Sadruddin's integrative approach to the applicability of HRE for teachers, educators and learners. It applies to formal, informal and non-formal educational settings in developed, developing and third world countries.
In Munir's viewpoint, human right education practices should be categorized into formal, informal, and non-formal education. Informal education is the source of learning human rights for children and females belonging to the marginalized communities, who do not have access to formal or non-formal education, whereas formal and non-formal education is the medium of learning human rights for everyone who has access to education informal educational settings. HRE is of utmost importance for all of them. Unless we accommodate HRE into informal education settings, parallel with formal and non-formal education, it is likely that these young minds will get inclined towards violence and radicalization.
HRE should begin by assessing the sociocultural context and political will. What are the ideological practices of a particular country? Is there any social acceptance of all HR values? Which HR values are sensitive to discuss? What are the cultural intakes on HR values? Further, the educational constraints imposed by the fundamentalists in many parts of the world have perhaps discouraged policymakers from disseminating HR values. In addition, many developing and third world states strong oppose western human rights laws and values and consider it as a political weapon to harm the cultural value system. Therefore it is pertinent to highlight the sociocultural context, the acceptable values, and the values that are in clash.
The next stage is understanding and assessing the dynamism of the ecological environment, i.e., convergence and divergence of human rights. It assesses the risks and opportunities of HRE at multiple levels, i.e., individual's wellbeing, community, and policy-making level.
The third stage is the ethical stage. Moral reasoning and ethical ownership are at its disposition.
The fourth stage is assessing general knowledge and attitude towards HR. As an alternate, ethnography may work. After passing the initial phases, decisions about HRE content should be made.
The foremost important thing is to add local content knowledge on HRE and filter the global HR knowledge that best fits the sociocultural context of that particular country. Adaption may work but all the resources should be socio-culturally fit. It should begin with the local and shift towards the global. Next, self-empowerment skills such as critical thinking, rationally based decision making, situation analysis, social and voluntary skills, digital literacy, peacebuilding, negotiation, etc. Next comes values, that should be negotiated with the cultural context. Finally, teaching HRE alone does not ensure that there will be peace and unity in the world. The actual litmus test occurs in society through the reflection of attitudes and actions in a sustainable way that is often ignored.[28]
United Nations
The United Nations High Commissioner for the Promotion and Protection of all Human Rights functions as coordinator of the UN Education and Public Information Programs in the area of human rights.[29]
The United Nations General Assembly has proclaimed it as central to the achievement of the rights enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR):[30]
Now, Therefore THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY proclaims THIS UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS as a common standard of achievement for all peoples and all nations, to the end that every individual and every organ of society, keeping this Declaration constantly in mind, shall strive by teaching and education to promote respect for these rights and freedoms...
— Preamble to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, 1948
Article 26.2 of the UDHR states the role of educators in achieving the social order called for by the declaration:
Education shall be directed to the full development of the human personality and to the strengthening of respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms. It shall promote understanding, tolerance and friendship among all nations, racial or religious groups, and shall further the activities of the United Nations for the maintenance of peace.
— Article 26.2 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
Article 29 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child requires states to ensure that children are enabled to develop a respect for their own cultural identity, language and values and for the culture, language and values of others.[31]
The importance of human rights was reaffirmed by the United Nations in the 1993 Vienna Declaration and Programme of Action:
The World Conference on Human Rights reaffirms that States are duty-bound, as stipulated in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and in other international human rights instruments, to ensure that education is aimed at strengthening the respect of human rights and fundamental freedoms.
— Paragraph 33, section 1 of the Vienna Declaration and Programme of Action[32]
States should strive to eradicate illiteracy and should direct education toward the full development of the human personality and to the strengtheng of respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms. The World Conference on Human Rights calls on all States and institutions to include human rights, humanitarian law, democracy and rule of law as subjects in curricula of all learning institutions in formal and non- formal settings. Human rights education should include peace, democracy, development and social justice, as set forth in international and regional human rights instruments, in order to achieve common understanding and awareness with a view to strengthening universal commitment to human rights.
— Paragraph 79 and 80, section 2 of the Vienna Declaration and Programme of Action
As a result of the Vienna Declaration the decade from 1995 to 2004 was declared the UN Decade of Human Rights Education.[33][34]
UNESCO has a responsibility to promote human rights education, and was a key organizer of the UN's Decade for Human Rights Education.[35] UNESCO attempts to promote human rights education through:[36]
- Development of national and local capacities for human rights education, through its co-operation in development projects and programmes at national and sub-regional levels.
- Elaboration of learning materials and publications and their translation and adaptation in national and local languages.
- Advocacy and Networking Activities.
Following the Decade of Human Rights Education, on 10 December 2004, the General Assembly proclaimed the World Programme for Human Rights Education, and ongoing project to advance the implementation of human rights education programmes in all sectors:
Building on the achievements of the United Nations Decade for Human Rights Education (1995-2004), the World Programme seeks to promote a common understanding of the basic principles and methodologies of human rights education, to provide a concrete framework for action and to strengthen partnerships and cooperation from the international level down to the grass roots.
