Article 5

No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.

This article it's one that I thing it's parcially respect in my country, democray made that torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatme or punishment were things of the past. However, lots of times authorities take benefit from their social position and make some "illegal" actions, an example was las year when there were riots because Mossos d'Esquadra hit and kick poor studiants and teachers which were not agree with the new model of education, later some people wants to know why other people name Mossos d'Esquadra as Gossos d'Esquadra.

- Do you know if it has been respected in the past? Why or why not?
-Where in the world is this right not complied with?

This article in particular it wasn't respect for 40 years more or less because of the dictadure whereas in other democratic countries torture was totall forbiden.
Nowadays there are some countries where torture and inhuman treatment is "legal", all this countries are from the 3rd world or are in process of developing as China.



7. Are Humans rights relevant in the world today? why?

In my opinion nowadawys Human Rights should be relevant, but mankind is the cancer of the same mankind, and people do what it's better for them, and lots of times what it's better for them it doesn't achieve with Human Rights.
