International universal system of human rights protection: challenges and prospects
https://doi.org/10.48137/2074-2975_2023_1_115
Abstract
Based on his personal experience as a UN expert, the author analyzes the emerging trends in the activities of universal human rights structures: the UN, the human rights treaty bodies of the UN system and at UNESCO. These trends are a real threat to the established international universal human rights system based on the provisions of the UN Charter. It is shown with specific examples how Western liberal ideas erode the conceptual foundations laid down in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and begin to prevail in the activities of international human rights mechanisms and thus the latter are gradually transformed into an obedient instrument of substitution of provisions of key international human rights treaties by Western liberal ideas in the guise of «universal human values» in opposition to the traditional spiritual and moral values.
