PLEASE HELP THIS IS EXTREMELY URGENT

im working on an ap world practice test and need help with a SAQ!!!

"The ‘luxury’ of having a human rights standard is to be expected in the advanced industrial democracies of the world because these countries are currently experiencing economic stability, flourishing agriculture, and reasonably stable populations. But in the developing world, the situation is more often reversed. Poverty in India, hunger in the Sahel [sub-Saharan West Africa], population pressures in China, or war and terrorism in Somalia all speak of continuing difficulties in trying to secure basic human rights for all people around the world. The so-called North-South dichotomy is a real one—part economic, part ideological, part ecological. In 1992, the [United Nations] Human Development report noted that ‘developing countries enter the global market as unequal partners and leave with unequal rewards. Furthermore, by 1990, the richest 20% of countries had national incomes 60 times greater than those of the poorest 20% of countries. ’ And, on the level of personal income the richest 20% of the world’s people get at least 150 times more than the poorest 20%. It is important to acknowledge these issues while at the same time attempting to move the international system toward a greater global human rights standard. "

The author emphasizes that much of the stability of human rights is related to the economic and social stability of developed countries.

What are human rights?

Human rights are a term that refers to those rights that allow the individual to develop. Human rights are aimed at all people in the world for the simple fact of their human condition.

In general, human rights seek to guarantee a dignified life without distinction of:

  • Race
  • Gender
  • Language
  • Religion
  • Political
  • National or social origin
  • Economic position or any other status

The most notable event during the 20th century that allowed deepening the discussion about human rights were the World Wars, because during this period the human condition lost its value, so the leaders of the time fought to restore the value of human rights through international organizations such as the United Nations.

However, as the author mentions, developing countries still cannot guarantee human rights due to their instability in other aspects. An example of this is the problem of violence in South American countries where the government cannot guarantee the rights of the population due to these problems, which in some cases are exacerbated by the links between politicians and criminals.
