Evolution of the international community, it has enjoyed broad international support. Ways to support human rights there are many and varied. In most international support methods used in support of human rights treaty bodies and UN political organs, so these methods are applicable to legal and political ways of supporting international human rights are. Because protection of human rights treaty bodies on the only countries that are members of the relevant documents and the ability to apply it after the approval of the documentation depends.the main problem with mechanisms supporting human rights treaty there is no coordination between them because each document has its own methods it addition to the heavy time commitments of countries that are members of several significant human rights document Is why it is essential to strengthen the efficiency of international support for human rights treaty arrangements between relevant agencies is done. Protection of human rights treaties, human rights abroad, by political organizations, especially UN Human Rights Commission is taken that the most important organ of control (political, not legal) is the international system. This paper examines the control positions on international human rights inside and outside and also explains some of the documents. Key words: human rights Protection organs Controller proctor INTRODUCTION Human rights include the background as old as human life has on some of the scholars and jurists believe that talk of human rights when it comes to the concept of human freedom in mind and be reminded of this concept and the subject serious attention of humanity throughout history this discussion has been the first sign of King author of Babylon in law years ( BC) was seen in the sixth century BC ruler Cyrus the Great and the hakhananeshian Empire of Iran author charter that regulates the release of Alien Nations effort Had been five centuries before Christ (about 450 BC) the Romans among the twelve there was a plaque that each related regulations, rights and obligations of citizens as well as Roman and medieval darkness despite the freedoms the Charter was due Magnakarta known as the Great Charter of England in 1215 AD The most famous of old documents is that this charter is the basis of British freedom. Definition of Human Rights: With the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which developed the concept of international law based on the development and formulation finds individualism. So the most important issue of human rights developments in international law is the twentieth century. Relation to human rights with governments and institutions affiliated to consider the government and it seems set of individuals or groups against government support and respect their rights by governments or institutions affiliated to the government wants. According to human rights rules and regulations, people basically have the right nor obligation. With regard to international instruments of human and authentic texts of human rights, these rights can be defined this way: "Human Rights set of rules and regulations of international law that in all times and places of authority, prestige. Humans or group all human dignity Because Humans, against all governments support the Human rights law perspective: Human Rights consists of a collection of individuals belonging to the rates prescribed in the rules of society and that people credit subject human being and its relations with other people in society and the ruling power, ensuring in this case exactly what the person will, it can do. Human rights system is superior and valuable for its strength not only against private individuals but also against the public powers have the necessary protective measures and proper respect adopted a requirement on private persons than the rights of individuals because there is no doubt the sovereignty of individual actions requires that his people not to intervene in this connection that even people with the advantages of public power have earned under this commitment are.

No punishment can not be that person or body and lives and property infringement made him unless due to violations of national laws and it just so proof crime by ordinary courts competent legal or adequate ordinary proceedings. This means that no individual can not be arbitrary right to life, freedoms and rights that are deprived of their property or be subjected to arbitrary arrest, except in terms of gross violation of the law and accused the right to address the demand research has the higher court. 2. Professor DC to primary meaning the rule of law is that all citizens should also function as normal lawabiding country and the ordinary law courts to be judged. This means primarily the second, equality of all citizens regardless of social position and their official status before the law and ensures the court overseeing the second this is only one type of rules must exist and function of all citizens Be kind, not the special rules for certain individuals is. Nevertheless of course the general principles in the United Kingdom constitution and fundamental rights of people as well as most fruits judicial decisions (procedural justice: Lowe Commonwealth system) is. Decree dated 15 June 1215 Mgnakarta known in British political history is a big turning point because in this command for the first time the King said that people should be treated with the rule of law is based. Therefore, development of human rights and public freedoms in governments rule only possible in the constitutions of many countries the basic principle of governance based on rule of law country essential addition legislator judiciary (in some countries Power Control) in charge of the country supports the rights of Personal and social obligation to restore public rights and promoting justice and legitimate freedoms of the people.

International NGOs: NGOs in the UN Charter Article 71 also has been considered and has several different purposes including Protection defense of freedom and human rights and humanitarian organizations are some known and some caution goals Following are some of them also with international organizations like the UN and Council of Europe are cooperating closely and are being consulted, especially because these organizations on the current information about various government invasion of individual rights are being role Such a cooperative organization with the Commission on Human Rights is of particular importance for this non-governmental organizations as well as effective and significant contribution in the analysis to international human rights issues are monitoring international support for freedom and cooperation with this initiative even Institutional development has been effective in this study between the three of them proceed. Amnesty International: Amnesty International in London in 1961 has established one of the most famous non-governmental organizations in support of human rights to sue for that effort failed to receive the Nobel Peace Prize was in Amnesty International aim to defend the prisoners to express political opinion, philosophical and religious organizations caught in the forge of freedom from state prisoners a fair trial and they will demand in the shortest term and is opposed to torture and capital punishment. Each year the organization to report the status of prisoners and torture in various countries in some other countries prepared to publish its validity rests primarily on the information is correct, which gained attention with the release of period neutrality Will. Amnesty International also credit-based intervention methods on human rights is thus that through its local groups affiliated to a government wants to accept membership of at least two prisoners to other countries, the field of direct support these prisoners And indirect support from national groups of prisoners against which joins governments membership is accepted method of providing amnesty international initiative led to being private is that these interventions through the mail or telegraph with prisoners and government officials are looking for is done. Positive effect of these measures can not be ignored organized attempt to remove a political and ideological prisoners of anonymity to experience significant residual seems to be because when the prisoner is placed at risk the organization it will be used to inform its members to Immediately to support him to be doing. Amnesty International to maintain its independence from any government office will help the budget and the general members through membership fees and a private gift for personal and cultural activities is provided. 63
5 International Committee of the Red Cross: In the latter half of the twentieth century, numerous differences exist between governments and armed conflict led to the death of injured, displaced, captured, migration, exile or disappearance of millions of men women and children around the world were numerous and basic rights of people disappeared in Such was the situation that the International Committee of the Red Cross was reality. The organization that founded it hanry Dvnan know the name of Henry in 1949 during an international conference four Convention on Human Rights, which provided most of the friendly countries that joined in 1977 as well as two supplementary protocols to the Convention were added to the Convention related to the collective improvement of wounded and sick of war and protection of wounded, sick and sea Drowning of war, prisoners of war and civilians in wartime was a four Convention Article 3 affirms that the ratio or soldier to civilians that the arms have had their land and other people outside of the flows are sick or injured prisoners, regardless of race, color, religion, gender, etc. will be treated humanely. Two supplementary protocols to support the victims of war, international non-guaranteed international human support that more civilian space also includes the territory of a State when the scene of grave unrest (such as multiple arrests, suspension of guarantees Judicial, disappearance, riots, etc.) is the International Red Cross can to support victims of their services available to governments to place. International Commission of Jurists: Aim International Commission of Jurists, which was established in 1952 developed the world's top lawbased programs provide the Commission and human rights, encouraging departments to establish national human rights protection, organizing conferences and publishing reports specifically deployed Court is political observers in the trial of political participation can be very useful. However, the government sent observers need satisfaction is desired but should be noted that opposition to such participation could face trials regarding the government is illegal to destroy the world with public opinion research initiative international commission of human rights violations has Readiness and technical assistance to governments or NGOs ensures finally the United Nations and its specialized agencies and is working towards having consultation with the Economic and Social Council and is also the UNESCO. Conclusion: Human Rights consists of a collection of individuals belonging to the rates prescribed in the rules of society and that people credit subject human being and its relations with other people in society and the ruling power, ensuring in this case exactly what the person will, it can Do. Human rights system is superior and valuable for its strength not only against private individuals but also against the public powers have the necessary protective measures and proper respect adopted a requirement on private persons than the rights of individuals because there is no doubt the sovereignty of individual actions Requires that his people not to intervene in this connection that even people with the advantages of public power have earned under this commitment are. According to what can be said to conclude the international system to control organ-specific and general, there are some significant obstacle to the regulations, although human rights are human rights violations that always happens in some cases but to the entire Acceptable level of control and supervisory agencies in the international system desirable watching cases monitoring human rights violations are so admirable is the organ.
