ABSTRACT

The United Nations has been inextricably linked with organizational efforts not only to promote human rights but also to play a vital role in the development of human rights protection mechanisms. Human rights concepts and mechanisms have developed historically in conjunction with interventions by civil society and states. The right to self-determination serves as one of the most salient examples. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights has been associated with the rise of pro-democracy and pro-human rights movements around the world, establishing the foundation for the development of international human rights mechanisms over the past five decades. This study aims to identify the role of the United Nations in protecting human rights and the challenges in the protection and promotion of human rights.
