HUMAN RIGHTS

MAC supports Laws in society that:

• recognize all persons are created with essential rights;
• promote the opportunity for every person to be treated justly; and,
• promote whatever upholds human dignity.

MAC supports a strong, independent and fully-funded State Human Rights Commission empowered to:

• provide an on-going assessment of the people's realization of human rights
• identify contemporary manifestations of injustice or denial of these rights
• implement programs, policies and statures that address injustice, harassment or denial of rights in overt, clandestine or insidious policies or practices.
