Human rights education is defined as the learning process that builds up the required knowledge, values, and proficiency of human rights of which the objective is to develop an acceptable human rights culture. This type of learning teaches students to examine their experiences from the human rights point of view enabling them to integrate these concepts into their values and decision-making.^[1] According to Amnesty International, human rights education is a way to empower people so that they can create skills and behavior that would promote dignity and equality within the community, society, and all over the world.^[2]

Non-discrimination[]

The "National Economics and Social Rights Initiative" stated the importance of Non-Discrimination in Human Rights Education. Governments must see to it that it must be exercised without bias to race, gender, color, religion, language, national or social origin, political or personal opinion, birth, or any status. All students, parents, and communities possess the right to take part in decisions affecting their respective schools and the right to education.^[3]

Human rights education and training[]

The OHCHR promotes Human Rights Education by supporting national and local initiatives for HRE within the context of its Technical Cooperation Programs^[4] and through the ACT Project which subsidizes the grassroots projects.^[5] The ACT or Assisting Communities Together Project is the collaboration between the OHCHR and the United Nations Development Program (UNDP)^[6] to make grants available for civil society organizations in implementing human rights activities in local communities.

The OHCHR also develops preferred Human Rights Education training materials and resource tools such as the Database on Human Rights Education and Training,^[7] Resource Collection on Human Rights Education and Training,^[8] and web section on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.^[9] Finally, it takes care of coordinating the World Program for Human Rights Education.^[10]

Universal Declaration of Human Rights[]

The "Universal Declaration of Human Rights" is acknowledged as a landmark document in human rights history. It was drafted by representatives from various countries and regions with varying legal and cultural experiences. The United Nations General Assembly proclaimed this declaration in Paris, France, on 10 December 1948. This Declaration states that basic human rights require protection. It was translated into more than 500 languages worldwide.^[9]

Demand for human rights education[]

The demand for human rights education continues to grow globally. Academic institutions are in the position to train students as future business leaders capable of managing human rights impact on their respective corporate organizations. The United Nations Global Compact^[11] in cooperation with the Principles for Responsible Management Education^[12] invites different corporations to incorporate business along with human rights topics to their curricula.

The Asia-Pacific Center for Education for International Understanding and the United Nations Academic Impact mutually organized the 2018 United Nations Global Citizenship Education Seminar at the UN Headquarters in New York City. These seminars are useful in the formulation of new ideas and concepts related to HRE.^[13] Human Rights Education is crucial because it is one of the keys to making governments and political leaders accountable. It also imparts and spreads out the human rights vocabulary and provides a critical approach towards human rights.^[14]

Human rights education and the United Nations[]

The United Nations High Commissioner for the Promotion and Protection of all Human Rights functions as coordinator of the UN Education and Public Information Programs in the area of human rights.^[15]

The United Nations General Assembly has proclaimed it as central to the achievement of the rights enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR):^[16]

Now, Therefore THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY proclaims THIS UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS as a common standard of achievement for all peoples and all nations, to the end that every individual and every organ of society, keeping this Declaration constantly in mind, shall strive by teaching and education to promote respect for these rights and freedoms...

— Preamble to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, 1948

Article 26.2 of the UDHR states the role of educators in achieving the social order called for by the declaration:

Education shall be directed to the full development of the human personality and to the strengthening of respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms. It shall promote understanding, tolerance and friendship among all nations, racial or religious groups, and shall further the activities of the United Nations for the maintenance of peace.

— Article 26.2 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights

Article 29 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child requires states to ensure that children are enabled to develop a respect for their own cultural identity, language and values and for the culture, language and values of others.^[17]

The importance of human rights was reaffirmed by the United Nations in the 1993 Vienna Declaration and Programme of Action:

The World Conference on Human Rights reaffirms that States are duty-bound, as stipulated in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and in other international human rights instruments, to ensure that education is aimed at strengthening the respect of human rights and fundamental freedoms.

— Paragraph 33, section 1 of the Vienna Declaration and Programme of Action^[18]

States should strive to eradicate illiteracy and should direct education toward the full development of the human personality and to the strengtheng of respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms. The World Conference on Human Rights calls on all States and institutions to include human rights, humanitarian law, democracy and rule of law as subjects in curricula of all learning institutions in formal and non- formal settings. Human rights education should include peace, democracy, development and social justice, as set forth in international and regional human rights instruments, in order to achieve common understanding and awareness with a view to strengthening universal commitment to human rights.

— Paragraph 79 and 80, section 2 of the Vienna Declaration and Programme of Action

As a result of the Vienna Declaration the decade from 1995 to 2004 was declared the UN Decade of Human Rights Education.^[19][20]

UNESCO has a responsibility to promote human rights education, and was a key organiser of the UN's Decade for Human Rights Education.^[21] UNESCO attempts to promote human rights education through:^[22]

• Development of national and local capacities for human rights education, through its co-operation in development projects and programmes at national and sub-regional levels.
• Elaboration of learning materials and publications and their translation and adaptation in national and local languages.
• Advocacy and Networking Activities.

Following the Decade of Human Rights Education, on 10 December 2004, the General Assembly proclaimed the World Programme for Human Rights Education, and ongoing project to advance the implementation of human rights education programmes in all sectors:

Building on the achievements of the United Nations Decade for Human Rights Education (1995-2004), the World Programme seeks to promote a common understanding of the basic principles and methodologies of human rights education, to provide a concrete framework for action and to strengthen partnerships and cooperation from the international level down to the grass roots.

Human rights education history[]

The emphasis on Human Rights Education began in 1995 with the beginning of the UN Decade for Human Rights Education, though previously addressed in 1953 with the UNESCO Associated Schools Program, which served as an "initial attempt to teach human rights in formal school settings". The first formal request for the need to educate students about human rights came about in UNESCO’s 1974 article Recommendation concerning Education for International Understanding, Cooperation and Peace, and Education Relating to Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms. The participants of the International Congress on the Teaching of Humans Rights eventually met in 1978 to form a specific definition of what would be required application of the education in formal curricula. The aims at which the Congress agreed upon including the encouragement of tolerant attitudes with focus on respect, providing knowledge of human rights in the context of national and international dimensions as well as their implementations, and finally developing awareness of human rights translating into reality whether social or political on national and international levels.

Human Rights Education became an official central concern internationally after the World Conference on Human Rights in 1993. This conference brought the issue of educating formally to the top of many countries' priority lists and was brought to the attention of the United Nations. It was two years later that the United Nations approved the Decade for Human Rights Education, which reformed the aims of application once again. Since the development of the UN Decade, the incorporation of human rights education into formal school curricula has been developed and diversified with the assistance of nongovernmental organizations, intergovernmental organizations, and individuals dedicated to spreading the topic through formal education.

Today^[when?] the most influential document used to determine what qualifies as human rights and how to implement these ideas and rights into everyday life is the Universal Declaration. The declaration was adopted by the General Assembly in 1948, making 10 December annual Human Rights Day ever since. To this day the 30 article compilation is seen^{[by whom?]} as "a common standard of achievement for all peoples and all nations".^[24]

Human rights education at schools[]

Several schools offer human rights education as part of their curriculum, for example linked subjects like History, Politics and Citizenship, but there are also specialised courses, such as Human Rights offered as part of the International Baccalaureate Diploma programme for high school students.

IB Human Rights is an academic subject containing units on:

• The theory of human rights
• The practise of human rights
• Contemporary human rights issues

In order to pass the course students are required to study for two years, take a final examination and produce a coursework.

As part of their diploma programme, students may also choose to write their Extended Essay on Human Rights. This is a 4000 word research paper focusing on human rights.

The IB Human Rights course was originally authored by Joni Mäkivirta, the developer of Cognitive Emotional Pedagogy. Part of the 2002 version of the IB Human Rights syllabus is at the Global Human Rights Education (HREA) website. Only part of the syllabus is available at the HREA website for copyright reasons.

The complete IB Human Rights syllabus that contains more details, including the assessment criteria, as well as the guide for the Human Rights Extended Essay can be acquired from the International Baccalaureate Organisation.

• As empowerment (Garth Meintjes)
• As a way of change for women’s rights (Dorota Gierycz)
• As a legal prospective and for law enforcement (Edy Kaufman)^[57]

Human rights education models[]

1. Values and awareness The Values and Awareness Model focuses on transmitting "basic knowledge of human rights issues and to foster its integration into public values" based on its philosophical-historical approach. This model is what people commonly think of when human rights are concerned with the target audience being the general public with topics including global human rights and more cultural based matters.

2. Accountability The Accountability Model is associated with the legal and political approach to human rights in which the learners which the model targets are already involved via professional roles. The model is incorporated by means of training and networking, covering topics such as court cases, codes of ethics, and how to deal with the media.

3. Transformational This model of education focuses on the psychological and sociological aspects of human rights. The topics towards which this model is effective are those including vulnerable populations and people with personal experiences effected by the topic, such as women and minorities. The model aims to empower the individual, such as those victims of abuse and trauma. The model is geared towards recognizing the abuse of human rights but is also committed to preventing these abuses.^[58]

4. Munir’s socioecoethical model of human rights education is an integrative approach to the applicability of HRE for teachers, educators and learners. It applies to formal, informal and non-formal educational settings in developed, developing and third world countries. This model emerged by applying grounded theory from learners and practitioners’ viewpoints, gathered from across 39 developing Asian countries. It is the result of 10 years of author’s local human rights practices, documentation and observation of HR practices across a range of teaching and learning settings particularly in the developing and the third world countries. Existing human rights education models proposed by Tibbitts (2017) is instrumental to promote human rights education across the developed countries. In Dr. Munir’s viewpoint, human right education practices should be categorized into formal, informal and non-formal education. Informal education is the source of learning human rights for children and female belonging to the marginalized communities, who do not have access to formal or non-formal education, whereas formal and non-formal education is the medium of learning human rights for everyone who have access to education informal educational settings . HRE is of utmost importance for all of them. Unless we accommodate HRE into informal education settings, parallel with formal and non-formal education, it is likely that these young minds will get inclined towards violence and radicalization. In the view of Sadruddin (2020), HRE is situated in context, thus requires educators to look at the sensitivities and sociocultural and political contexts of the under-developed and developing nations. According to Sadruddin (2020), human rights education should begin with assessing the sociocultural context and political will. What are the ideological practices of a particular country? Is there any social acceptance towards all HR values? Which HR values are sensitive to discuss? What are the cultural intakes on HR values? According to Sadruddin, the ideological clashes between conservatives and the liberal thoughts have always drawn line between acceptable and non-acceptable HR norms. Further, the educational constraints imposed by the fundamentalists in many parts of the world have perhaps discouraged policymakers from disseminating HR values. In addition, many developing and third world states strong oppose western human rights laws and values and consider it as a political weapon to harm the cultural value system. Therefore it is pertinent to highlight the sociocultural context, the acceptable values and the values that are in clash. The next stage is understanding and assessing the dynamism of ecological environment, i.e., convergence and divergence of human rights. It assesses the risks and opportunities of HRE at multiple levels, i.e., individual’s wellbeing, community and at policy making level. The third stage is ethrical stage. Moral reasoning and ethical ownership is at its disposition. Forth stage is assessing general knowledge and attitude towards HR. As an alternate, ethnography may work. After passing the initial phases, decisions about HRE content should be made. According to Sadruddin, human rights educators often extract/adapt the best practices/models of human rights curricula and course work from other countries, despite knowing that it is not reflective to the need of that particular country and could not sustain for long. They sometimes set lofty goals and create the momentum within bureaucracy and not actually reorganizing the issues in context. The foremost important thing is to add local content knowledge on HRE and filter the global HR knowledge that best fits the sociocultural context of that particular country. Adaption may work but all the resources should be socio-culturally fit. It should begin with local and shift towards the global. Next, self-empowerment skills such as critical thinking, rational based decision making, situation analysis, social and voluntary skills, digital literacy, peace building, negotiation, etc. Next comes values, that should be negotiated with the cultural context. Finally, teaching HRE alone does not ensure that there will be peace and unity in the world. The actual litmus test occurs in the society through the reflection of attitudes and action in a sustainable way that is often ignored.

Criticism[]

Sudbury model of democratic education schools maintain that values, human rights included, must be learned through experience^{[59][60][61][62]} as Aristotle said: "For the things we have to learn before we can do them, we learn by doing them."^[63] They adduce that for this purpose schools must encourage ethical behavior and personal responsibility. In order to achieve these goals schools must respect human rights in school by allowing students the three great freedoms—freedom of choice, freedom of action and freedom to bear the results of action—that constitute personal responsibility.^[64]
