Human Rights between Religious Foundations and Ethnocentrism

Abstract

Given the frequent grounding of moral rights justifications in specific cultural practices, which lacks universal consensus, it is crucial to augment existing frameworks rather than discard them. Proponents of human rights make assertions that could benefit from the inclusion of comparative religious ethics perspectives to forge a more globally resonant basis. By discerning core concepts and principles common across diverse religious ethico-legal traditions, while acknowledging variations in their interpretation and application within specific contexts, constructive discourse can foster enhanced comprehension of rights.
