Poverty Eradication and Human Rights

Abstract

Combating poverty is considered a major aspect of the social development process and is effective in achieving the higher goals of social development, including attaining equality, justice, and social cohesion, as well as ensuring global peace and security. Analyzing international documents related to social development also highlights the importance of this issue in the social development process and emphasizes strategies for achieving the ideal state of poverty elimination. It is evident that if poverty is neglected, it causes numerous problems for both local and global communities. Poverty itself creates deprivation, inequality, and insecurity, and thus the pillars of social development collapse in the presence of issues such as discrimination, lack of participation, insecurity, and vulnerability to crises. Therefore, it is essential to have a proper policy for social development at the national level, focusing on empowerment, improving employment status, and enhancing social support systems to ensure people's security against life disasters. Additionally, at the international level, cooperation is a constructive element that has always been emphasized in credible global documents and is considered necessary for achieving social development. Paying attention to human rights regulations is the best strategy for poverty alleviation.
