(At least 30 minutes)
A social security system is
the seventh factor considered necessary for a good quality of life.
Look at slide :
Article 22 of the Declaration of
human rights (resolution 217 A
(III)) in 1948 reads:
«Everyone, as a
member of society, has the right to social security and is entitled to
realization, through national effort and international co-operation and in
accordance with the organization and resources of each State, of the economic,
social and cultural rights indispensable for his dignity and the free
development of his personality.”
Principles 4 and
5 of the
Declaration of the rights of the child
proclaimed by the General Assembly of the United Nations on 20 November 1959
[resolution 1386 (XIV) ] read:
4. “The child shall
enjoy the benefits of social security. He shall be entitled to grow and develop
in health; to this end, special care and protection shall be provided both to
him and to his mother, including adequate pre-natal and post-natal care. The
child shall have the right to adequate nutrition, housing, recreation and
medical services.
5. The
child who is physically, mentally or socially handicapped shall be given the
special treatment, education and care required by his particular condition.”
Articles 22 , 23 and 24 of the Protocol to the African
Charter on Human and Peoples’s Rights on the Rights of Women adopted
on 11th July 2003, during the
second summit of the African Union in Maputo, Mozambique reads:.
“Article 22
Special Protection of Elderly Women
The States Parties undertake to:
a) provide protection to elderly women and take
specific measures commensurate with their physical, economic and social needs
as well as their access to employment and professional training;
b) ensure the right of elderly women to freedom from
violence, including sexual abuse, discrimination based on age and the right to
be treated with dignity.
Article 23
Special Protection of Women with
Disabilities
The States Parties undertake to:
a) ensure the protection of women with disabilities
and take specific measures commensurate with their physical, economic and
social needs to facilitate their access to employment, professional and
vocational training as well as their participation in decision-making;
b) ensure the right of women with disabilities to
freedom from violence, including sexual abuse, discrimination based on
disability and the right to be treated with dignity.
Article 24
Special Protection of Women in
Distress
The States Parties undertake to:
a) ensure the protection of poor women and women heads
of families including women from marginalized population groups and provide an
environment suitable to their condition and their special physical, economic
and social needs;
b) ensure the right of pregnant or nursing women or
women in detention by providing them with an environment which is suitable to
their condition and the right to be treated with dignity.”
It is one thing to make rules. It is another to
respect them. Sixty years have passed since the Declaration of Human Rights and
most of the world’s inhabitants lack the social security provided for in the
various Declarations and Conventions.
Some aspects of egalitarianism in small communities
are discussed in chapter 14 «From egalitarianism to kleptocracy » in
Jarred Diamond’s book Guns, germs and steel, (Vintage, London,
1998). In the smallest human groups («bands ») and those with a few
hundred people, the exchange of goods and services was reciprocal. All the
members of the community knew all the others. All the members were usually in
one way or another inter-related. Decisions were taken together. The social
system was egalitarian.
«....no member
of a traditional tribe can become disproportionately wealthy by his or her own
effort, because each individual has debts and obligations to many
others. » (p. 272).
This form of solidarity is still common in many small communities
in developing countries today. Integrated development projects under the Model
take constructive advantage of this social feature.
