Rethinking Human Rights on the 70th Anniversary

Human is one of the common grounds of almost every science, art, philosophy or religion. Because human actively takes part in all of these areas with his/her thoughts, knowledge, design and belief. With inspiration of this enormous creativity, human has given himself/herself a number of priorities. Human rights are also at the top of these privileges. Human rights essentially emphasize that human makes himself/herself special, important and sheltered. One of the most contentious aspects of the field is that the ideals on this issue collide with reality. This dilemma opens the question of the validity of human rights. Because if human being is human as long as he/she lives his/her rights, when they are not fully realized, war against his/her human and social existence has been waged. Another point at least as striking as this is that human does this to himself/herself again. Human uses his rights as a shield against himself/herself or the structures such as society and the state which is created by himself/herself. According to all these, human rights have been at the head of critical and indispensable problems from yesterday to today. Therefore, this article is written as a compilation that invites people to rethink human rights on the 70th anniversary of its announcement.
