Human Rights from Different Counties; Canada

“All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.”
UN General Assembly, Universal Declaration of Human Rights, 10 December 1948

------------------------------------------
Common ground for solving Competing Human Rights: 

To show dignity and respect for one another 

 Encourage mutual recognition of interests, rights and obligations  

Facilitate maximum recognition of rights, wherever possible 

 Help parties to understand the scope of their rights and obligations  

address stigma and power imbalances and help to give marginalized individuals and groups a voice  encourage cooperation and shared responsibility for finding agreeable solutions 

that maximize enjoyment of rights. 

The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, 

Provincial human rights legislation and 

the courts recognize that:

No rights are absolute right and 

no one is more important than another right.

Great Comment:

The courts have said we must go through a process on a case-by-case basis to search for solutions to reconcile competing rights and accommodate individuals and groups, if possible. This search can be challenging, controversial, and sometimes dissatisfying to one side or the other. But it is a shared responsibility and made easier when we better understand the nature of one another’s rights and obligations and demonstrate mutual respect for the dignity and worth of all involved. Finding the best solution for maximizing enjoyment of rights takes dialogue and even debate.
