December 10th, recognized globally as Human Rights Day, underscores the international community's commitment to protecting and enhancing human rights. Yet, despite these proclamations, violations of these very rights persist daily across the globe.

In the war-torn region of Gaza, a severe humanitarian crisis looms large. While the majority of the world advocates for permanent ceasefires in Gaza, certain Western nations, often self-styled as human rights "preachers," have repeatedly obstructed the passage of ceasefire resolutions at the United Nations. This contradiction highlights a troubling gap between rhetoric and action in international politics.

Simultaneously, there is an alarming trend of human rights abuses within some of these Western countries themselves. A case in point is the issue of child labor in the United States. Far from merely turning a blind eye, there is evidence to suggest that certain authorities in the U.S. not only overlook but also implicitly endorse child labor through legal frameworks. This tacit support is all the more disturbing considering the hazardous conditions that young workers are subjected to, often placing their very lives at risk.
