Is Poverty included in human rights?

Human rights by definition would mean giving virtue or value of human life trough its existence. The rights include all the basic necessities of life. Poverty on the other hand refers to the insufficiency of enough income and resources that would help a person live within the community standards. With this, it could be claimed that Poverty is included in human rights since both concerns the value of life and existence. To further support this argument, in-depth discussion on the components of human rights and impacts of poverty in connection with the human rights.
Individuals globally without discrimination equally inherit Human Rights regardless of nationality and any status in life. These rights have been considered interdependent, interrelated and indivisible under the provisions of the International Human Rights Law. Interdependent and indivisible rights would signify that both the political and civil rights of all humans such as the right to life are mutually dependent, inseparable and are interconnected (“United Nations Human Rights”, 2010). This signifies that every individual of any race, culture and demographic profile is equally entitled with inherited human rights.
But the question lies on how could equality of human rights be achieved in a world that way back the previous decades and history has worst state of inequalities in power and resources between states? The inequality of distribution of wealth and resources among states and individuals was one of the major causes of poverty (Thomas, 2004).
Thomas Pogge (2005) in a symposium has identified primary challenges that could bridge between the equality of human rights and the issues of poverty . These include the following: actual history, fictional history and present global institutional arrangements. The first challenge argued that the post-colonial era or period has something to do with the inequalities of the resources between states leaving a global poor inadequate of resources. The second challenge would argue that the inequalities between states were products of bets or gambles. The third challenge argued that the arrangements and institutional rules were the caused of inequalities. Given this challenges, it signifies that it is when all these causal factors of the past, future and present problem that causes inequality of distribution of resources among resources would equality be achieved.
What does this signify? This would show that the inequality of distribution of resources among states marks the differences between rich and poor or powerful and less powerful states. This is the reality among states. Inequalities became hindrances of achieving equal human rights. Poor countries being left out that made their condition worst. This would lead to the answer of the main thesis of the paper: Is poverty should be included in Human Rights?
Based from readings, I would personally say yes. Poverty should be included in Human rights. Taking into consideration the impacts of poverty in a nation or state would clearly define its reasons that would include itself as part of the promotion of human rights. Poor people suffer greatly from the insufficiency of their needs. These needs pertain to food, medical care, shelter and other basic needs. Poor people are oftentimes psychologically disturbed since they have been stricken by physical, mental, emotional and financial problems. They also experience less of political, economic and social influence that could limit their ability to produce goods and earn income for a living (Thomas, 2004). These are only some of the impacts that affect the quality of life of the poor people. This picture would clearly show the inequality between the quality of life between the poor and the rich. Thus, it is very important that in the discussion of equality and achievement of human rights among all the people across countries, it is very important to include the poverty
