Talk:Human rights movement

Global perspective and definitions
I've added a little on W. E. B. Du Bois and Pan-Africanism as the early human rights movement and the driving force for the inclusion of human rights language at the UN. I feel like the article could still go further in being truly globalized. Take this sentence:

"However, others, like Ibhawoh, point out that there still is a gap between regions, particularly as most of the international human right movement organizations are located in the global North, and thus continuous concerns are raised about their understanding of the situations in the global South.[10]"

In my view, this is highly ironic, since oppressed peoples have been demanding human rights for a long time, but they are somehow excluded (by definition? by omission?) from the concept of a human rights movement—and then we wonder why the "global human rights movement" is dominated by white Europeans.

See:
 * Self-determination
 * Indigenous rights
 * Decree 900
 * Year of Africa
 * Neocolonialism
 * All-African Peoples' Conference

The global "human rights movement" seems to be those elements of the human rights movement which can be used to justify, e.g., military intervention in Afghanistan. But where is the military intervention against Red Onion State Prison? groupuscule (talk) 04:10, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
