Our Rights in Our Locality

The local people have the right to advocate in order getting better access to fishing lot, wood interest, healthcare, education, and other services. All these rights are stipulated and guaranteed in the national constitution as the bill of rights.

The word ‘Basically human right strategy’ was frequently used to depict the campaign in addressing issues related to human rights,civil rights movement based in community [ Refer to a group of people who live in the same places for example village of, commune, district and province/town then they communicate in the society and they are also interested in the same thing together]. What does this term really mean?

It means that empowerment of people to realize them of their rights and enjoy those rights so that they can exercise them as well. Meanwhile, they believe that the government must play the key roles in term of promoting basic rights for people. Generally, we divide two main categories of people are rights owner and rights governor.

Right Owner: this means that a person or a group of people who was granted the special privilege for example the Cambodian children have the rights to gain education by free of charge. All Cambodians have to right to avoid from police’s punishment. Sometimes, the people’s rights were not fully executed; therefore the people have to advocate claiming rights.

Basically human rights strategy pushes to materialize the human right respect and exercising of the rights. That is why it is required to have active and concerted participation from people to maintain their rights and monitor the Government’s practice.

Governor: Any individual who is in charge of and promote the basic rights and protect them as well. He is also responsible for protection of any people’s right abuse. Normally, those are who were selected from voting or taking in office at the government level including police, judge, parliamentarian, officers, and prime minister too.

The government’s role is to protect its people. Its responsibilities are delivering of education service, health care, and protect and promote human rights. And the people definitely acquire those services basically because this is the right which they must receive it but not the gift.

Conclusion
The community should find out and mobilize the resources effectively. It is important when the problem was identified then members in the locality have to participate to get involved in discussing, learning, analysis, information sharing, combined activity in order to address those problems. It enables a community with independence, ownership, self-reliance and improve livelihood.
