The same high-quality sugar that Coca-Cola procures at low cost to give its products their characteristic sweetness is known to be the product of child labour in El Salvador
. Other examples of ethical violations include incidents in connection with the efforts of union leaders in Colombia fighting for the rights of labourers at Coca-Cola's main Latin American bottler. Reportedly, Coca-Cola hired mercenaries who actually murdered those union leaders. Likewise, other union activists were fired for attending union meetings and some of their family members were kidnapped and tortured in 2005. In Turkey, fourteen Coca-Cola truck drivers and their families were tortured and beaten while protesting the layoff of 1,000 workers from a local Coca-Cola bottling plant. In Mexico in 2000, a senior bottling manager was sacked and sued for being gay.

As consumers, we have a moral obligation to pressure such organisations by demanding that they adhere to the very policies and values that they promote publicly. In fact, Coca-Cola should not be permitted to profit by producing a product based on its sweet taste when its corporate policies are responsible for leaving such a sour taste of human exploitation and rights violations in the communities where it does business. Ethically responsible consumers have a moral obligation to boycott Coca-Cola products unless and until the company reforms its corporate policies appropriately.

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.

Introduction Background The present-day economic development gives rise to a substantially greater magnitude of resettlement in comparison to ten years ago. 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). Across the globe, development projects have resulted in approximately 15 million people facing displacement on an annual basis (Van der Ploeg and Vanclay, 2017).
Another aspect which is important to be taken into account in respect to human rights issues is the right to seek asylum. The 1951 UN Convention for Refugees states that asylum seekers should be helped by the country where they seek assistance in order to prevent the return of the people in a situation which would put their lives or their integrity in danger. However, for the Australian government such
Human rights are the activities, freedoms and conditions that all human are entitle to enjoy, and these rights include economic, political, cultural and social rights. Putting differently, human rights are inalienable, inherent, indivisible and interdependent, which cannot be taken away, must be respected, and which the governments are to put in places the instrument to regulate laws and policies for human rights protection.

Human rights are equal for all, and are given without any kind of discrimination. All human rights are interconnected, interdependent and cannot be separated. There are international law sources that guarantee and express these rights, such as customary law, general principles treaties and international law itself. International law of
