Revise: Teachings on Human RightsUpekkha means equanimity: a balanced, impartial attitude without favouritism or hostility. Applied to human rights, it means that the suffering of an unpopular person deserves serious concern, just as the suffering of a friend does. Equanimity is not indifference; it helps prevent prejudice from deciding whose rights matter.
