Article 7: Legal equality

“All are equal before the law and are entitled without any discrimination to equal protection of the law. All are entitled to equal protection against any discrimination in violation of this Declaration and against any incitement to such discrimination.”

This human right is protected by every constitution, but it’s not always obeyed. Sometimes, the influence of the government or the capital of somebody affects to the trial or the judge. And it happens in almost all the countries. So, it is violated frequently.

This human right represents equality, the rich and the poor are equal, no matter neither your capital nor your origen nor your job. And it is disappointing that this right is violated in countries that promotes this equality.

Watch the video of the right you chose.  Make a list of new words you hear, if any. Think of an example where this human right is respected and where it is violated.

This human right (Legal Equality), is violated in almost every dictatorship, for example, North Korea, and it is “respected” theoretically in every democracy, for example, the UK
