Are Human Rights Only for Privileged Nations: A Critical Analysis on the Other Side of the Coin.

Abstract

This study questions the statement that human rights are equally available to all people regardless of geographical, political, or financial situation since it critically investigates the universal applicability of them. Though the Universal Declaration of Human Rights declares the indivisibility and universality of human rights, their application differs greatly across rich and underdeveloped countries. The paper investigates how geopolitical interests, economic domination, and systematic disparities limit the achievement of fundamental rights in underdeveloped countries, therefore aggravating world inequalities. By means of a multidimensional approach, this paper investigates historical legacies, the function of international institutions, and selective humanitarian interventions, so highlighting that the global human rights framework sometimes favors the interests of strong countries while so undermining those of vulnerable states. It also looks at the stories of agency and opposition among the underprivileged, therefore stressing the ongoing fight for justice and equality. This study supports a rebuilt human rights system that preserves universality and equality and really confronts world inequalities.
