Human Rights in Theory and Practice: A Global Perspective
Keywords:
Human Rights, Universal Declaration, Global Perspective, Civil and Political Rights, Socioeconomic Rights, International Law, Cultural Relativism, AccountabilityAbstract
The article examines the development, theoretical underpinnings, and real-world applications of human rights in a global setting. It examines the evolution of human rights from their philosophical roots to their codification in international law, assesses conflicting theoretical frameworks that guide their interpretation, and examines workable enforcement strategies. This study provides a thorough knowledge of the dynamic interaction between human rights theory and practice by looking at both successes and enduring issues, such as political repression, inequality, climate change, and digital surveillance. In order to preserve human dignity in the twenty-first century, the study emphasises the necessity of renewed international commitment, intercultural communication, and institutional accountability.
