ESSAY ON HUMAN RIGHTS IN COSTA RICA

HUMAN RIGHTS IN COSTA RICA
(individual work)


Everybody has heard about human rights, many people around the world know about democracy in Costa Rica and know Costa Rica is a country where human rights are really respected. When we talk about human rights, we have to talk about respect for integrity, so basically we have to consider Treatment or punishment and Political rights.

Our constitution prohibits cruel or degrading treatments of human beings. In fact, laws invalid any statement obtained through violence and  prisioners are separated by sex and by level of security (minimum, medium, and maximum) guaranteeing their personal safety.

On the other hand, we have to consider respect for political rights, which means the right of a citizen to change their government on a regular basis, in this case, costarricans have the right to change their government peacefully every four years.

In conclusion, Costa Rica provides laws with mechanisms to respect human rights and they are trully  applied in important cases.
