This would be their freedom to speech, religion, ethnicity, sexuality, life, and so forth. There are many examples of human rights violations throughout the world in history, and more specifically, currently in the Middle East.

Most commonly, particular persons who are responsible for violating human rights will stand trial in the International Courts of the United Nations. They will then be charged with whatever crime they committed, and will be prosecuted and tried fairly. This process would begin after the Human Rights UN Group takes action against these countries.

The Young Turks practiced genocide on the Armenians in the Ottoman Empire. In Rwanda during the 1990's, and the Hutus started in with the genocide of thousands of Tutsis. Throughout these genocides millions of innocent lives were destroyed for no particular reason. Genocide is one of the larger-scale human rights violations.

A hijab (shown below) is an article of clothing that covers all of a woman's head except her face. In some countries, it is even required to cover everything but her eyes. This would be a violating a women's rights because they do not have freedom of speech, in the form of clothing. Sharia law deals with many aspects of daily life, and dictates ways of living with social issues, sexuality, family, dating, and politics. Not following any of these laws can lead to imprisonment, stoning, execution, and doubt of faith. It does not allow someone to have their own individual opinions and to do what they want, to an extent.

The rights of religious and ethnic minorities are often compromised, and the struggle between religious fanatics and government repressors have often lead to the suffering of many innocent victims. Freedom of speech is greatly curtailed, and human rights NGOs and journalists operate under danger of arrests and lawsuits. *2

In the Islamic faith, women generally have little, if no legal rights. However, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states that each individual has basic rights, which includes both men, women, and children. Taking away the legal rights of women in Middle Eastern countries is a punishable human rights offense.
