Human behaviours are guided universally by morals and norms which are fundamental to their existence. These behaviours form an integral part of human rights which encompass the universal respect for inalienable rights and fundamental freedoms of each and every person. Thus, this implies that the protection of individuals and groups against human rights abuses is very crucial to every ones’ obligation, thereby highlighting the importance of human rights education. This is an essential contribution towards the awareness and prevention of human rights abuses, necessary for a just society in which human rights of all persons are valued and respected.
Therefore, Human rights education, having been identified as an important discourse to our daily activities will empower students with the knowledge that will go beyond the compulsory education and create an enabling ambiance for a healthier peaceful continents, hence the need for its integration in the secondary school and higher institutions curriculum in Africa and Asia.
