摘要

The growing interconnectedness of the world presents challenges for states, including environmental threats, armed conflicts, and human rights protection. In response, regional cooperation and the establishment of institutions have become important trends in the interstate system. The Eurasian region, with its geopolitical significance and vast potential for interstate cooperation, has witnessed essential integration in the twenty-first century. However, while the Eurasian countries share common interests in various fields, cooperation in human rights protection remains underdeveloped but promising. This paper explores the perspective of human rights protection in Eurasia. It discusses the necessity of developing this issue, examines universal and Eurasian concepts of human rights, and assesses the potential of existing Eurasian institutions to establish a specialized mechanism for human rights protection. The paper also addresses the institutional structure of this mechanism, considering whether it should be a separate body or integrated within existing organizations. The proposed mechanism could be implemented incrementally, progressing from advisory to judicial bodies. The research methodology involves critical theoretical analysis, genealogy of knowledge, deconstruction, prognosis and modeling, and comparative legal analysis using appropriate national and international legal materials. The findings contribute to the exploration of Eurasian cooperation and human rights protection.
