Guarantees of Women's Human Rights in the International Arena

Fahime Haji Alizadeh, Abuzar Salary Far, Ahmad Ranjbar

Abstract


A review of the International Bill of Human Rights suggests that a history of the development of international instruments for the protection of Women's Rights was developed and approved not dating back more than a century and in all these human rights documents, whether public or private documents, women's political rights are considered and supported. The United Nations support of women's human rights began from the Human Rights Charter. Under Article 1 of the Charter of the United Nations, the United Nations goals are: “increasing international cooperation in promoting respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms for everybody without discrimination on grounds of race, sex, language or religionâ€. The present study seeks the guarantees of women's human rights in the international arena due to the importance of the guarantee in restoration of the rights of individuals and societies.
