Evaluation and Development of Human Rights on National and International Levels

Abstract One of the perennial issues of politics has been the problem of striking a right balance between the rights of the individual and the authority of the State. While authority or sovereignty of the State is essential to maintain order and stability in the nation State (which is benevolent to its each and all individual citizens), the rights of theindividuals are essential for enabling them to develop their personality and to lead a happy and prosperous life enjoying their human rights. “Rights” and “authority” are not opposed to each other. In other words, human rights complement the authority of the State. In fact, they shape each other’s nature, importance and the content. Thus human rights can find better protection in an orderly and stable political system.
The relationship that exists between individuals and their governments, at a given point of time, determines the very nature and content of human rights. Also, the type of political system a country has determines the extent of human rights protection available. Therefore, most modern political systems are generally labelled as democratic or authoritarian depending on the degree and kind of human rights guaranteed to the citizens. In an ideal democratic political system, the individual’s personal liberties and restraints, or rights and duties would be so organized that the rights and duties of others are not jeopardized. In other words, in such apolitical system, every individual should enjoy the maximum freedoms to do as he pleased, compatible with the rights of others to do the same. In authoritarian political system, the individual political rights are compromised, allegedly to serve the collective or social human rights of the nation.
There are many reasons why governments are created by human beings. Social and political theorists and politicians have answered this perennial issue. Among the many useful functions that governments serve in modern times many of them are concerned directly or indirectly with promoting and protecting human rights of the individuals. Governments serve many functions, such as community and nation building, protecting property and other rights, promoting economic efficiency and growth, promoting other public goods like public parks, roads, light houses, etc., protecting environment, ensuring national defense and advancing social justice. Modern governments promote social justice by redistributing wealth and other resources between citizens. Some states like India have established a huge corpus of protective discrimination laws.
