I have dreams for my book, A WOMAN NEEDS LOVE FROM A REAL MAN, to be an inspiration to all the women in the entire world. There are real men out there that will search for your love. Women that have been in bad relationships should have an idea of what a MAN is. There is a difference between a man and a REAL man. A man is selfish, inconsiderate, immature and often disrespectful. A REAL man is loving, mature, passionate and supportive of everything you accomplish in life. I also want the women that are reading this book to know that you have to love yourself before you could love anyone else.
The history of human rights suggests that individuals should be empowered in their natural, political, political, social and economic vulnerabilities. States within the international arena hold each other responsible for doing just that and support or interfere where necessary. States are to protect these essential human vulnerabilities, even when this is not a matter of self-interest. This function of human rights is recognized in contexts of intervention, genocide, humanitarian aid and development. This book develops the idea of environmental obligations as long-term responsibilities in the context of human rights. It proposes that human rights require recognition that, in the face of unsustainable conduct, future human persons are exposed and vulnerable. It explores the obstacles for long-term responsibilities that human rights law provides at the level of international and national law and challenges the question of whether lifestyle restrictions are enforceable in view of liberties and levels of wellbeing typically seen as protected by human rights. The book will be of interest to postgraduates studying Human Rights, Sustainability, Law and Philosophy.
