GLOBALIZATION AND HUMAN RIGHTS

Ksenija Jurišić ; Faculty of Political Science, University of Zagreb, Zagreb, Croatia

Abstract

Violations of human rights have become an almost daily occurrence via various TV and newspaper reports. Massacres, murders, torture, violence, imprisonment of political opponents, are facts of life in a number of contemporary states. While these states blatantly curtail human rights of their citizens, the governments and peoples of other countries have the right but also a kind of duty to demand they be respected. This feeling of global responsibility is increasing every day thanks to the process of globalization itself.
