Hello, I am looking for someone to write an article on Human Right to Humane Treatment. It needs to be at least 2000 words. The European Convention on Human Rights has, therefore, set out certain provisions with the aim of securing to all citizens, the rights and freedoms guaranteed under the EC treaty. Under the Treaty, inhuman and degrading punishment would violate the rights of an individual, or even a child, to freedom from arbitrary treatment – such as excessive punishment or torture under imprisonment. There have been allegations of inhuman and degrading treatment in prisons and the provisions of the Geneva Convention have been found inadequate in this regard. However, Article 3 of the European Convention addresses all such violations of the right to freedom from discriminatory treatment. Article 3 has been primarily applied in respect to international victims of torture and cruel, arbitrary treatment while imprisoned. However corporal punishment of children is also emerging as an area where the provisions of Article 3 would apply. Such punishment would be equivalent to mental and physical torture which is deemed to be unacceptable under the Convention. Yet traditional belief has held that corporal punishment is an essential part of discipline and this conflict between punishment and freedom from torture has generated controversy within the European Union.

The right of the individual to humane treatment is recognized under Article 3 of the European Convention of Human Rights, which states clearly that, “No one shall be subjected to torture or inhuman or degrading treatment, or&nbsp.punishment”.

Because “we live in a society in which violence is spreading like a plague” and incidents of terrorist violence and destruction are soaring, the provisions of Article 3 of the Convention help to protect individuals from violence. When the violence or torture is perpetrated on children through corporal punishment, there is a special cause of action that arises for the exercise of Article 3, since children are in a weaker position as compared to adults. Corporal punishment can sometimes be excessive and thereby constitute degrading treatment that harms the child physically, emotionally, and mentally.
