what is Violation of human rights?

What exactly is Human Right violation?
On my own point of view ,i'll define it as ,going againts the will of God and man on human.
That is making some one do what he or she is not suppose to do at a given time.
And also depriving him/her the privilege given to him/her by God.
How can you define it ?
and What do you think every one should do to avoid violating human right?

To me, every person should have the right to life and freedom, to a certain extent. A violation of human rights could be something as obvious as slavery, or something as little as not being able to speak your mind.

Thanks for the response,
In my country Nigeria,we have supperior and inferior people.What i really mean is that some seats are meant for the super rich and the middle class,it also applies to aircrafts where you 'll have economic class ,business class and first class cabins .If you aint superior you aint goin to fly in first class or business cabins on a plane .So i think in away most of our doings on earth voilates human right.
And this should be one.
If we take every body as one, i dont think any body will be more supperior than the other.
What do you think

when a person uses his right in a way as to harm, damage right of other person, its called violation of a human right.
harm or damage could be result of a legal process, then its not regarded as a violation

there are many differant "definitions" for human rights and what is considerred violating them. You can do it from the legal point of view or from the religious point of view. Both of wich have many contradicting aspects in themselves. You could take the Catholic Social Teaching view and it wont agree with those teachings of Gandhi. However, i still believe there is an innate nature that every human can "feel" when they know that their rights are ebeing violated. I think what you said about this social class system is an obvious threat against your human rights even though i, myself dont have a tangible basis on what exactly human rights are.

I agree partly with Miggs331 in response to her reply about human rights. I feel that human rights, in The United States, is only guaranteed by the Bill of Rights which entitles each individual to certain and specific rights such as freedom of religion. If the Bill of Rights did not define these rights, then we would have no rights at all. Although some people have a sense of rights "given to them by god," if relegion was not free in The United States, then would people still feel that they were given rights by god if god was in a sense governed by the government?

Hey!!
Yes, All was well said.
One good thing to note as humans is that wereso your right stops, there another man's rigt begais, therefore, it is quite wise to to study as a wise man, what is neccessary to be an acceptable approach to your neighbors...
For me, acts such like:
To violate means, to go against, and therefore one have to know what their fundimental human rights are, then they will know if they are violating or not.
So, if we see Men and women not treated as equal, when our natural human right law says we are egual, it is a violation....
Different racial or religious groups are not treated as equal....
A person is sold as or used as a slave..
Victims of abuse are denied an effective judicial remedy.....
A certain race, creed, or group is denied recognition as a "person"...
All these are Violations of human right as they all go against some sets international declarations of human rights and dignity.
For me, I must treat all earths inhabitants as equal as i espect to be treated.
Welcome yaaaaaaa...!

Everyone has made some good contributions on the subject. I think there is a deeper understanding in all of us of how to respect the rights of others. I think it is a slight modification of the Golden Rule:
"Don't do to others as you would not have them do to you."
Unless you are a masochist (someone who likes pain), this rule pretty much covers what bad behaviors to avoid.
If you don't like being tortured, then don't torture others.
If you do not want others to tell you what religion to practice, don't tell others what religion to practice.
If you don't want others to tell you what you can read or say, then don't tell others what they can read or say.
If you don't want to spend your life raising babies and cooking in the kitchen, then don't tell others they have to do that.
I think we can all think of other behaviors we wouldn't like if we were on the receiving end. Let's not engage in them ourselves!

Rightly said!
THe violation of human rights is the is the act of damaging or hurting the rights of others. Recall that, every human is possesed with an intrinsic dignity from conception to natural death. It is this inalienable right to life that form the basis of a free and just society. Hence, It is inviolable and must be cherished by custom and protected by the law.

Dear journalist, I is ready to give you the INTERESTING material about CENSORSHIP on crimes of judges and public prosecutors. But I can tell only in Russian, at a spelling of the letter I use the program to translators. Believe me a material VERY INTERESTING, the HORRIFYING FACTS and PROOFS of crimes of judges and public prosecutors. The world of such story DID NOT HEAR. The Russian journalists REFUSE to write the truth about true democracy in Russia. I to you GUARANTEE, that after that material the World learns about you and your Newspaper. And you will rescue people in Russia SUFFERING from these crimes.
Yours faithfully Minin Valera, my address: valera-help-sos@mail.ru
I wait for the answer.

Violation can simply be defined as an act of going against the laws of the land, rules and regulations. It is an act of doing what should not be done or not doing what should be done. As christians or muslims, the moment one goes against those rules that are contained in the holy books, there is violation. It is going against the acceptable norms and statutes. Human Rights are those rights and privileges derived being human beings. When we talk about human rights, we shall be talking about those rights that can not be taken away from you because of your race, colour, background, religion, class, ethnic, political group, ideology, principles etc. This is saying that, once you are human beings, those rights and privileges are yours automatically. Knowing your rights or rather knowing when any of your rights is violated, it is essential you know those rights. At international levels, we have Universal Declaration of Human Rights from where some other international covenants were originated such as International Covenant on Social and Economic Rights, International Covenant of Political, Civil and Cultural Rights. We have African Charter on Human and Political Rights and others at Regional or continental levels. At National levels, we have what we know as Constitution. As a matter of fact, we also have some laws in some states, though might not be applicable in other states and this can be narrowed down to local government and township levels. Once any of these rights is violated by anybody intentional or unintentionally, there is violation of rights. I may talk more on this issue later.
