Pandangan:

Berikut merupakan salah satu isu yang berkaitan hak asasi manusia. Perkara seperti ini sepatutnya tidak berlaku jika penekanan yang mendalam tentang hak- hak individu diterapkan dalam diri anak-anak ini. Mangsa mempunyai haknya sebagai kanak -kanak untuk tidak dibuli atau dipaksa melakukan sesuatu yang tidak disukainya. Ini berkait dengan maksud Hak Asasi Manusia itu sendiri.

Rhoda E. Howard (sosiologist):

·         Human rights are rights that one holds merely by virtue of being human

·         Human rights = individual rights

·         All human beings hold all human rights equally (race, gender, religion …)

·         Deprived only under very limited and prescribed conditions (eg. criminal conviction or necessities of state power in warfare)  

Henkin (1989) states that the idea of human rights is related, but not equivalent, to justice, good and democracy. It is a political idea with a moral foundation which defines the relationship that should exist between the individual and society

Buergenthal (1988) defines human rights by reference to the law which governs human rights. He refers to “the law which deals with the protection of individuals and groups against violations by governments"

Legal scholars, in distinction to political activists, refer to …

·   fundamental rights

·   that are proclaimed in legal documents (constitutions or treaties)

·   that are protected by constitutional courts or the ordinary judiciary.

·         And because these human rights still have the ambition of being basic and universal, there still is the link with the tradition of natural law.
