Welcome to the Butler Human Rights Watch
This Human Rights watch dog site monitors Human Rights violations in China and the Middle East, we review data, articles, personal blogs and analyze the information collected to
try and determine not just what is happening but why.
Human Rights are a very western concept and what we view as a human right historically and culturally may not be the same in every part of the world. We must examine what the United Nations
has determined as human rights and then compare these violations to possible cultural and historical norms that exist in these nations. The United Nations Declaration of Human Rights is not international law,
but a guideline for nations to aspire to achieve. Well we must encourage all nations to follows this declaration, we must look deeper into a nations actions to determine if human rights violations are
an act of pure evil, or an act of culture and historical norms.
Human Rights as outlined by the United Nations is what Butler Human Rights Watch will consider when determining if a human right has been violated, but we will also consider the culture and historical
norms of a nation to better approach the issue and when petitioning the nation to adhere to the guide.
Thank You,
Gerard Sessa
