Exploring the Relationship Between Human Rights and International Relations

Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Human rights and international relations are deeply interconnected, representing a critical dimension of global governance. This paper explores the historical development, theoretical foundations, and practical implementation of human rights in international relations. It highlights key examples, such as the response to the Rwandan Genocide, China's human rights practices, and international accountability mechanisms like the International Criminal Court (ICC). The analysis delves into challenges like the tension between state sovereignty and universalism, the role of non-state actors, and the selective application of human rights norms. Recommendations emphasize enhancing multilateral institutions, bridging global and local frameworks, and fostering accountability to create a more equitable global order.
