THE ROLE OF UNITED NATION IN PROTECTION AND PROMOTION OF WOMEN’S RIGHTS

Today one of the indicators of human development is the number of women’s present and how they act in the various area that seriously impact the other measures in this field; The women also carry out the role of mother and wife and can play an effective role in solving social problems .The moral crises and family deadlocks, irregular population growth, the prevalence of many incurable diseases and other issues around the world, indicate that the human society in the present era has not
considered the role of women in human development as it ought to do. The lack of opportunities and cultural attitudes corroborate this notion that the root and reason of many conflicts and abnormalities of present century need to be analysed from the view point of women.
one of the challenges women face, relates to behaviour, social and cultural patterns as well as customs and traditions, practically deprive them from a lot of points of interest and prevent them from their real participation in public life .Consequently they contribute to discrimination in real life. It requires adopting specific measures and taking steps to combat with this type of discrimination and attempt to eliminate and eradicate the mindset in favour of inequality. The human right due to its nature and essence is free from the constraints of time and place, hence on one hand it has been the cause of the emergence of systems which were effective in liberating human being from dogmatic beliefs and pushing him towards his real place On the other hand, presently with the changes that have been taken place in it, has caused some transformations in the classical principles of “sovereignty”.
Today human right principle forces countries to be responsible in the way they deal with their citizens. The large number and volume of human rights’ documents, the reduce universality of rules and its progress towards becoming a rational authority with responsibility and commitment. This is one of the most important achievements of the international community that their efforts to ensure respect for the human dignity and to limit the absolute sovereignty of governments, in the field of
human rights has been recognized.
Indeed, being in the position of peace keeper and protecting the rights of human beings, the term “universal and effective observance of human rights”, requires that the UN can break the barriers that arise due to national sovereignty of countries, and step in to every territory and watch and protect the violation of human rights in different countries. The concept of absolute sovereignty and independence in unilateral actions and activities of national units are influenced by international
evolutions and proliferation treaties that observe human rights, by the establishment of institutions and legal systems, has been exposed to some transformation and a process is created to increase the importance of human rights .The governments are held responsible to the international community for keep of human rights.
Therefore, the status of women in today’s world is still under debate and mired in ambiguity .This has led to further anxiety and concern. Though much progress that has been made yet, much more work remains to be done. While women in some societies have achieved significant progress, however, almost everywhere secondary priority is granted to women’s issue. Women in covert and overt ways face discrimination and pushed the margins of society. They do not shared equally in the
fruits of production and constitute 70% of the poor people of the world.
