Global Issues: The Spread of Human Rights Norms and Domestic Interference
摘要
In the realm of international relations, the focus extends beyond the traditional entities of states. At times, “individuals” who constitute a state emerge as significant players. Historically, citizens were often seen as mere subjects under the sole authority of the state. However, the advent of the UN Charter and international human rights agreements has shifted this perspective, recognizing individuals as subjects whose fundamental rights warrant protection within the global community. It is essential to consider human rights as a collective global concern and to examine the principle of non-interference in the domestic matters of states within this framework.
