Article 14: Right to Asylum

Article 14 of the UDHR grants the right to seek and enjoy asylum from persecution. This right, in addition to the right to leave one’s own country (Article 13), and the right to nationality (Article 15), can be traced directly to events of the Holocaust. Many countries whose drafters worked on the UDHR were acutely aware that they had turned away Jewish refugees, likely condemning them to death. In addition, many Jews, Roma and others hunted by the Nazis had been unable to leave Germany to save their lives.

Article 9- No one shall be subjected to arbitrary arrest, detention or exile.

The Universal Declaration of Human rights states arbitrary and detention when arrested and detained is unlawful. Without due process and legal protection of a fair trial by a government official it goes against our human rights. Arbitrary and detention are used to intimidate individuals and is a tactic used by government officials.

Article 8- Everyone has the right to an effective remedy by the competent national tribunals for acts violating the fundamental rights granted him by the constitution or by law.

The right to remedy is for everyone, fair trials and due process are important to achieve justice. Providing solutions for injustices and violations of the rights of all individuals is granted by law.
