Human right abuses and crimes against peace




Serious human rights breaches that the above are responsible for are:

Freedom from degrading treatment
The right to liberty
Freedom of thought, conscience and religion, and freedom to express your beliefs
Freedom of expression
Freedom of assembly and association
The right not to be discriminated against in respect of these rights and freedoms
The right to peaceful enjoyment of your property

If any of these rights and freedoms are breached, you have a right to an effective solution in law, even if the breach was by someone in authority, such as, for example, a police officer or other official.

Nuremberg principles

Principle IV states;
"The fact that a person acted pursuant to order of his Government or of a superior does not relieve him from responsibility under international law, provided a moral choice was in fact possible to him."
