Human Rights Law: Principles and Advocacy Dr. Jaspal Kaur

Abstract

The paper shall introduce the dynamic and quite complex area of international human rights law and state the general principles of the very same which aim at safeguarding the inherent dignity, as well as the fundamental freedoms of all human persons. It directs a doubtful glance at the problem of universality of human rights and the dispute, which borders with cultural relativism. The literature review has assisted the scholarship to bring into the limelight the different scholarly minds and opinions like the philosophical, legal, social-political aspects of it, of course the women rights, and gender equality. This research design is mixed in the sense that, it represents the mutual combination of a doctrinal research of the law with the empirical research of cases to provide the answer to the challenges and the steps toward the full realisation of the protection of human rights and the empowerment of women in particular. The outcomes help to justify the essence of activism and feminist movement in negotiation and protection of human rights standards. Concluding the paper the author says in order to fulfill human rights, powerful intervention of the legal actors and the civil society is required so as to promote justice and combat discrimination and above all on women as it will bring a radical change on how human rights are meant to be addressed in the world.
