Still in my diplomacy era. 🇺🇳
Have you ever stopped to wonder how your fundamental human rights being upheld is heavily dependent on the whether there’s peace where you are? If you haven’t, I hope this post makes you do so.
Peace as a human right has been a subject matter of discourse for years, but the world has not been able to unanimously agree on its inclusion in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
This doesn’t make it less true. Peace is a human right every human is entitled to, and it’s time the world sees it and treats it as such.
I envision a world where positive peace is a norm! A state of justice, equity, fairness. A world where ceasefires don’t determine or regulate peace. I understand the dynamics of the international system, and why this seems hard, but I refuse to accept it as an impossibility.
Temiloluwa Bolawole is my name, a spoken word poet, peace advocate, UNICEF GenU YPAT, Lagos State Youth Ambassador, and I use my platforms to spur positive action, peace, youth development, and share the gospel of Christ.
If peace is your vibe, stay with me! 🇺🇳
Should peace be a human right?
