Abstract
A comparison of the stature of human rights in Cuba and in the United States. The author contrasts between the legacy of communism that is evident in Cuba and holds limitations on the execution of human rights, and the practice of human rights in the United States. The paper looks into the concept of human rights with reference to rights of speech and religion.
From the Paper
"The relationship between the United States and Cuba has been tense for the past 40 years, and there have been many confrontations between us. The U.S. had recognized the government in 1959 led by Castro, but when Cuba brought about the Marxist-Leninist system, things began to get tense. In 1960 the U.S. instituted an embargo against Cuba, and since then there has been many confrontations between the two countries. Our systems of government now vary greatly in many ways, especially regarding human rights. People are still trying to flee the communist clutches of Castro and come to the U.S. where they can be free."

From the Paper
"As regards the writ of habeas corpus, in case the US Courts found authority, there are chances that it will possibly be debated that the President's Military Order dated 13 November 2001 has kept in abeyance the right of the prisoner to apply for habeas corpus. As per the provisions of 7(b) (2) of the Military Order, it lays down that the person shall not have the power to look for any solution or keep any proceeding, directly or indirectly, or to possess any such solution or any events or keep record of any events on the behalf of the person in any court inside the United States. But the Constitution of the US maintains that the right of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be discontinued for the time being except in cases of mutiny or incursion, the exigencies of public safety might demand it."

Reasons for Signing the Treaty
From the Paper
"While there are many political reasons that the US may refuse to sign the treaty, one of the chief causes for concern might be the establishment of an International Criminal Court. Many UN delegates support the idea of an International Criminal Court but the United States has been steadfast in its refusal to agree. An international criminal court might begin the slippery slope of descent to the power of individual nations when it comes to many issues including the treaty.If the international criminal court gains favor and power in the future it is feasible that the court could be used to enforce the treaty."

International Human Rights Legislation
Conclusion
From the Paper
"During the years, due to social pressure the illegal aliens have been granted a series of temporary benefits. They have been awarded amnesties at times. That is the granting of a legal statute into the country. They have had educational subsidies. In some states they have had drivers' licenses. One such benefit was the illegal alien identification card which was introduced in an effort to legitimize and control illegal migration. Especially the governments of the countries of origin of most of the aliens, like Mexico, were very important supporters of this card. This card is used if the alien is deported according to the laws. These cards have been strongly opposed by the American conservatives as they were thought to be aiding and abetting illegal migration."

Abstract
This paper compares the level of women?s rights in the two countries. It compares historical voting rights, political power, positions in legislative systems, domestic violence, infanticide and the one child policy. There is also an account of Chinese women?s prison. Includes many numerical comparison and discusses cloaking of actual figures by government agencies.
From the paper:
"The "China Daily," discusses women's rights in China in a positive manner, bringing up several points that show women in China have no fewer rights than women in the United States. Unfortunately, there are many topics that were not discussed in this paper, that prove women in China still have a long road ahead of them in achieving true equal rights.
The article says that women of China did not have to wait 144 years after the forming of a constitution to vote. "American women belatedly obtained equal voting rights 144 years after the founding of the United States, while Chinese women were grated such rights immediately after the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949" (Editors, 1995)."

From the Paper
"Among various scholars? enumerations of particular human rights, the fundamental rights listed may be classified as either political and civil rights or economic and social rights. Political and civil rights are negative rights, which are typically satisfied by the mere absence of constraint or harm. In contrast, economic and social rights are positive rights, which constitute an affirmative claim to certain goods and services in society. Human rights have traditionally been considered, by definition, those rights that are universal in nature. Justifying economic and social rights has been problematic because not all goods are attainable. The provision of many economic and social goods is dependent upon a society?s production possibilities, which in many nations are too inadequate to provide for basic needs, and therefore deny the universal possibility of fulfilling such rights. However, consideration of the duties and obligations of actors in a global economy reveal that economic and social rights are, in fact, justified. Mr. Bush and Mr. Reagan?s terming of such rights as mere ?goals? or ?objectives? should not be restored; the Clinton Administration?s termination, by policy, of the distinction between economic and social rights and political and civil rights represents a moral movement forward. However, the Clinton Administration?s refusal to recognize a ?right to food? is entirely inconsistent with its recognition of economic and social rights. "

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses whether homosexuals should receive rights guaranteed in the Bill of Rights. The writer questions whether gays should receive rights compared to civil rights. The writer argues that while it is true that gays and minorities are often mistreated, the difference is in the ability to make a decision. The writer maintains that gay rights are different than civil rights because homosexuals make the decision to be gays and even the Bible shows that it is wrong, but African-Americans are born "black" and the Bill of Rights guarantee rights to "all men". The writer then points out that the Civil Rights Act was passed to guarantee that all African-Americans be treated equally with other Americans. The writer argues that comparing gay rights with civil rights shows that gays make a decision to date or love another person of the same sex, while African-Americans are born with their skin color and they should be given the same rights as any American.
From the Paper
"Before determining whether gays should have rights it is important to look at the definition of homosexuals. The definition of homosexuals will show that it is defined as a sexual orientation with romantic love and sexual desire of the same sex or gender. When a person falls in love with another person, a decision must be made to love the person. Homosexuality is a decision. The gay person decides to fall in love with another person of his or her same gender. This is the same as if a person decides to never date a person or if a person decides to fall in love with another person of a difference sex. Since it is a decision, people should not receive certain rights because they make a decision. Many homosexuals and minorities are rejected jobs and other freedoms so many people believe they should have rights as guaranteed by the Bill of Rights. However, it is important to remember that homosexuals decide whether they want to have a love life with a member of the same sex."

From the Paper
"This research paper discusses the nature and course of the movements for civil rights and women's rights in the United States during the 1860s and draws appropriate comparisons and contrasts between them.
The principal struggle for civil rights related to improving the political, legal and, to a lesser extent, the economic status of blacks in the South, their emancipation from slavery and succor by the North during the Civil War (1860-1865) and their achievement of suffrage and other rights during the initial phases of Reconstruction (1865-1870). Emancipation only gradually became a central goal of Union policy during the war and its full parameters were far from settled by the time President Abraham Lincoln was assassinated. Reconstruction policy followed an even..."

In analysis of this policy, the paper determines the impact that these relations have had on the United States. The current level of Cuba-U.S. agricultural trade is presented and the issue of sanctions is explored.
From the Paper
"Tension and confrontation are the definitions used to describe the relations between the United States and Cuba over the last forty years Due to Cuba's establishment of very close ties with the Soviet Union and the part Cuba played in fueling the Cold War frictions between the United States and Cuba have been of a long-running nature. While President Clinton was in office the policy with Cuba was one that promoted the 'peaceful transition' of Cuba to a stable and democratic government and held respect for human rights. Two complements of the policy were first the maintenance of pressure on the government in Cuba for bringing about changes through the embargo and Libertad Act while at the same time making provisions for humanitarian assistance to the people of Cuba."
