Universal Human Rights Analysis

Debates on cultural diversities and universal human rights tends to go into a complete dichotomy, that is either the acceptance of universality of human rights, or of the subjectivity of cultural values. Even though, proposes for considering cultural values has increasingly come to the foreground. However, the disputes on the resolution of respecting traditional values indicate the unsolved cultural complexities which may support or hinder the practice of the international human rights at the local level. Since 1990, debates on to what extent cultural diversity impacts on the universality human rights, so to its implementation.
