THE PROBLEM OF HUMAN RIGHTS UNIVERSALITY AND CONVENTIONALITY
Abstract
The scope of this study is the problem of universality and conventionality of human and civil rights. This institute is legislatively recognized in almost all modern legal systems. The shared values are the values that define the position of the individual in society - freedom, equality, justice. But representatives of each civilization have their own world view that affects the interpretation of these categories. It is no accident that the adoption of universal international acts on human rights is accompanied by the creation of standards and mechanisms to protect the human rights in conformity with cultural, historical features and traditions of a particular region. The authors of the article offer their own point of view on the issue of human rights universality and conventionality at the present stage. The conclusion states that the traditional cultures in their confrontation with the universalism are in a sense the guardians of traditional values in Western culture and thus prevent further deformation of human rights at the present stage of human development.
