- Title
A Historical Study of Contemporary Human Rights: Deviation or Extinction?
- Authors
Kerikmäe, Tanel; Hamuľák, Ondrej; Chochia, Archil
- Abstract
Human rights is a core issue of continuing political, legal and economic relevance. The current article discusses the historical perceptions of the very essence of human rights standards and poses the question whether the Realpolitik of the changed world and Europe can justify the deviation from the "purist" approach to human rights. The EU Charter, as the most eminent and contemporary "bill of rights", is chosen as an example of the divergence from "traditional values". The article does not offer solutions but rather focuses on the expansive development in the doctrinal approach of interpreting human rights that has not been conceptually agreed upon by historians, philosophers and legal scholars.
