Abstract: Human rights have been prioritized in discussions about post-conflict societies.However, this prioritization is misleading, since it applies Western standards that cannot be exercised in a post-conflict setting in the developing world.Certain conditions are necessary to prepare a post-conflict society for the acceptance of human rights, including political cultures, use of language, nation-building and socio-economic parameters.This paper will show that these conditions take a long time to achieve and the characteristics of post-conflict societies make human rights irrelevant in their respective contexts.
