All people have human rights.
We need to know about them because
they give us the authority to speak for ourselves.
States are obliged to uphold our human rights.
Human Rights began when lots of people
from all over the world got together and discussed
what fundamental rights all people should have.
These Human Rights are written down in International Laws
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights
The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights
the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights
All three of these make up the International Bill of Rights
Our rights are threatened by climate change
Climate Change is caused by the earth warming up
This is caused by things such as pollution and deforestation
It leads to melting ice, floods and drought
Let me tell you about a community
are suffering the affects of climate change.
In the last few years their weather
has changed a lot. It is irregular!
Sometimes it rains so much it floods.
Other days it never rains which leads to drought
It destroys food crops
It destroys water supplies
It puts lives in danger
But, they have a human right to have water and food
This right is found in international law
go to www2.ohchr.org to find the relevant ones.
They can use these rights to make a change
They can make a film on their issues
and show it to decision makers
They can write a letter to their state
officials to explain their case
They can speak out! Represent their people
attending international forums.
And hopefully through these methods their
voices will be heard and their rights upheld.
We can use this system over and
over again for all our rights
to Culture and language
Including our Right to Health and to Land

your rights work for you go to
