David Sanakoyev: Human Rights Is A Unique System To Achieve Balance In This Diverse World

peech by the South Ossetian President's Plenipotentiary for Human Rights David Sanakoyev at the scientific conference in Transnistria "Development of Human Rights Institutions in the self-determined states" to mark International Human Rights Day.

Human rights have become one of the mankind's most significant gains of the last century. During this time, the international mechanisms of human rights protection were created, which had greatly increased the possibility for people to struggle for their rights, for those, who suffered from various abuses by the authorities of their states. Human rights is a unique system to achieve balance in this diverse world. But to make it useful, all the opportunities provided by national and international human rights mechanisms should be used. Of course, we realize that often it is difficult to achieve a fair result, but we must not forget those people who sometimes gave their lives to uphold these universal values.
