Human Rights Issues
Human rights are universal freedoms and rights entitled to all people regardless of any distinction they may have that are inseparable, intertwined, and have the inability to be taken away or transferred. Despite the United Nations' (UN) consensus that the human rights listed in the United Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) are essential and protected under international law; it has become apparent that through the years, these rights have been violated on a daily basis by law enforcement with little to no accountability. In efforts to enlighten readers on this issue, this paper will be addressing an article from the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights entitled "Verdict is Testament to Courage, Perseverance, and Justice" that reflects on the verdict of Police Officer Chauvin and what message it sends as the United States addresses police accountability and an article from Human Rights Watch entitled "Justice is Served for George Floyd, but U.S. Police Reform Remains Urgent" by John Raphling that reflects on the ineffectiveness of the same verdict as police brutality continues.

Whether it was sports, science, art or in this case culinary arts, my grandparents were there to support me.
