In the past six decades, the worldwide magnitude of development-induced displacement and resettlement has fully-fledged to an approximated 250 million to over 400 million people (Terminski, 2012).

Human Rights Violations in the Workplace Utilitarian Theory and Human Rights Violations of human rights: Firing a teacher for having IVF treatment at a Catholic school The basic tenant of utilitarian theory is that policies should attempt to maximize 'the good' for the greatest number of people. It is a theory based upon the principle of maximizing pleasure and minimizing pain for the majority. Upholding human rights includes minority as well as majority rights.
When the human rights related to HIV / AIDS are not respected, the vulnerability of the infection and spread of HIV increases and effective response to the epidemic is impeded. It is important to integrate a human rights approach when dealing with HIV / AIDS because once there rights are protected and promoted, vulnerability reduces, response to the epidemic is enhanced, and discrimination against infected individuals is discouraged.
