                                      Remedies for Breaches of Rights

Although the rights of individuals are established and should always be recognized and respected except under the specified circumstances declared that those rights can be restricted or infringed. There are many instances wherein someone’s right is breached whether they are aware or not. Hence, there are some remedies available for a person whose rights have been infringed:

·         Financial compensation (Only if the individual has suffered loss wherein the court allows for compensation).

·         Individuals can file for an Injunction (a judicial order restraining an individual from continuing an action which threatens or invades the legal rights of another. It can compel a person to carry out an action such as restitution to the victim).  

·         Access to the relevant reparation organizations or authorities.

·         An apology (Sometimes the victims of violations of human rights would feel better that the person/organization that has breached their right(s), admits their wrongful action, and apologize).

·         Awareness of Human Rights (Some of these human right breaches are caused by ignorance. Therefore, measures should be implemented to ensure knowledge of human rights reaches everyone so that individuals do not infringe another individual’s right(s).
