Human Rights & Violence

‘‘Non-violence in the Civil Rights struggle has meant not relying on arms and weapons. It has
meant non-cooperation with customs and laws which are institutional aspects of a regime of
discrimination and enslavement’’, said Martin Luther King in his 1965 speech. He added saying
‘‘Non-violence has also meant we do not want to install fear to others or into the society of
which we are part. It has meant that we don’t seek to win victory over anyone. We seek to
liberate our society and share in the self-liberation of all the people’’.

Sure that violence often brings momentary results. Nations have frequently won their
independence in battle. But in spite of temporary victories, violence never brings permanent
peace. It solves no social problems: it merely creates new and more complicated ones. ‘‘violence
is immoral,’’ he said ‘‘It destroys community and makes brotherhood impossible.’’

According to Martin Luther King, practicing non-violence shows that we have reached a
superior level, that we have escaped the blind fear that arouses panic and violence. Non-
violence, for him, requires courage and self-denial. Martin Luther King exposes how useless and
harmful violence is. It is impractical and immoral because it develops hatred and ends in
destruction for all.

He pointed out that violence has come to be taken for granted as a means of solving
problems. But violence engenders violence and it will never bring permanent peace. He also
declared that we have to exchange ideas and opinions in peaceful dialogues. We have to set an
atmosphere of understanding and tolerance, an atmosphere of brotherhood and love.
