Tolerance in International Human Rights Law
This article briefly studies the historical background as well as the opinions of some scholars with respect to tolerance, as a human virtue and a moral and political value. It argues that tolerance originates from human dignity and respect and that societies are advised not only to tolerate the differences among individuals and ethnic groups but also value these differences. Further it reviews the available instruments in International human rights law touching on the requirement of peaceful coexistence among social groups and minorities. It then examines in particular, the UNESCO Declaration on Principles of Tolerance. Finally it stresses the need for education in promoting tolerance in societies where social groups initiate dialogue primarily in order to eliminate prejudice, hatred and discrimination off societies, and eventually promote the notion of peace among citizens.
