Human Rights Concerns
After reviewing Tanzania’s periodic reports and concluded observations issued by the United Nations Human Rights Committee (UNHRC), the principal breaches in the country’s system of human rights are many. The main concern for the United Nations Human Rights Committee (UNHRC) was the increasing numbers in terms of domestic violence as well as the mutilation of female genitalia. The United Nations Human Rights Committee (UNHRC) were extremely concerned with the absence of actions in order to target these areas of violation towards women. The committee was also able to conclude there was an under-resourcing of the human rights commission, the harsh treatment towards Tanzanian?prisoners by law enforcement officials, and not being able to “protect the rights of minorities and indigenous peoples, including in relation to the negative impact of projects such as game parks on the traditional way of life of these communities.” In response to concerns expressed in the system of human rights, the United Nations Tanzania Country Team acted through sponsoring anti-discrimination and equality, as well as “the shaping of a strong and coordinated national human rights machinery”. Furthermore, on top of incorporating such objectives into its growth support activities, the United Nations encourages the reporting and updating on endorsements from the United Nations Human Rights Treaty and Human Rights Committee.

Famous quotes containing the words human, rights and/or concerns:
“I have said many times, and it is literally true, that there is absolutely nothing that could keep me in business, if my job were simply business to me. The human problems which I deal with every day—concerning employees as well as customers—are the problems that fascinate me, that seem important to me.”
—Hortense Odlum (1892–?)
“She, too, would now swim down the river of matrimony with a beautiful name, and a handle to it, as the owner of a fine family property. Women’s rights was an excellent doctrine to preach, but for practice could not stand the strain of such temptation.”
—Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
“American thinking, when it concerns itself with beautiful letters as when it concerns itself with religious dogma or political theory, is extraordinarily timid and superficial ... [I]t evades the genuinely serious problems of art and life as if they were stringently taboo ... [T]he outward virtues it undoubtedly shows are always the virtues, not of profundity, not of courage, not of originality, but merely those of an emasculated and often very trashy dilettantism.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
