Abstract

Currently one of the most debated topics is their human rights and their security, since in most

cases they are treated well by all. Talking about human rights in a global society is simple, by

promoting them in most cases, in the name of personal goals and interests of international

actors. But how easy it is to talk about them, the harder or worse it is to preserve, people have

the right to feel safe and secure. How good is a country to protect and secure the lives of its

people, and if the shield is weak, in this case we are dealing with a failure. We consider these

truths to be acceptable, all people are equal, and all of them are endowed by their creator with

some unspeakable rights, among which are life, freedom and security. To guarantee these

rights, governments have been established, whose legal power derives from the reconciliation

of the governed (Declaration of Independence, 1776).

But to be honest, we can not speak for freedom, justice and security when the majority of the

world's population is in poor living conditions, which is minimal for their lives.

Introduction

In recent decades, human rights and the debate over them has become a key feature

of contemporary global public culture. Historical development and the concept

of human rights have risen above the premise that people, despite the dierences

between them, have a common core of human being and human wealth and aspiration.

This assumption presupposes the interdependence of human beings as such and the

human dignity of each individual. In this way understaning the concept of human

rights contains three distinct aspects, but also closely linked to each other such as:

equality among people, considerations for human being and human solidarity, which

are achieved by the democratization of one another persistent society. As Hannah

Arendt pointed out, human rights are based on the idea of equality, meaning that we

always think of someone else as another human being. This means that it is exactly

what is dierent to the other, the one that brings them together and connects people

together through language and speech, through consideration for each other, as well

as through responsibility and reciprocity to each other.

Human Rights and Globalization

The concept of rights in the context of globalization has taken a dierent impact.

In the face of this process, states have to adapt their domestic and international

legislation, because the interaction of states with each other and the impact of this

interaction appear to society with the changes it brings in each area. For this reason,

government institutions have the focus on work of adapting new legal norms to the

challenge of globalization. The human rights law has always played a central role in
