Deconstructing the Relevance of Universalism in the Context of Human Rights

The potential inapplicability of universal human rights may be attributed to three factors: linguistic deconstruction (the unsustainability of meaning), moral considerations, and practical application. Human rights are universal principles that establish precise standards for human behaviour and are consistently safeguarded by domestic and international laws. Irrespective of age, colour, geography, language, religion, or social status, they are universally recognized as inherent, essential rights that every individual has. These principles are considered inherent in all individuals worldwide. This research examines the vocabulary used in the human rights treaty and analyses selected articles from linguistic, moral, and pragmatic perspectives. The primary goal is to demonstrate a postmodern viewpoint and elucidate it via language.

Abstract

The potential inapplicability of universal human rights may be attributed to three factors: linguistic deconstruction (the unsustainability of meaning), moral considerations, and practical application. Human rights are universal principles that establish precise standards for human behaviour and are consistently safeguarded by domestic and international laws. Irrespective of age, colour, geography, language, religion, or social status, they are universally recognized as inherent, essential rights that every individual has. These principles are considered inherent in all individuals worldwide. This research examines the vocabulary used in the human rights treaty and analyses selected articles from linguistic, moral, and pragmatic perspectives. The primary goal is to demonstrate a postmodern viewpoint and elucidate it via language.
