Summary of “Human Rights And Globalization” By Dr Samir Naim-Ahmed

Globalisation can be both good and bad for the enhancement of the implementation of human rights. The critics of globalization lay much emphasis on its impact on human rights. The advocates of globalization do not deny this but they explain this by the resistance of some countries and peoples to globalization. Both advocates and critics of globalization agree on the fact that human rights are affected by globalization, but they differ in their explanation. Since the Universal declaration of Human rights in 1948 many countries of the world succeeded in enhancing the implementation of human rights. Globalization agreements require governments to abide by the global market mechanisms and to follow the advices of the international agencies. The governments have to make all necessary adjustments. Many of those changed laws are related to the implementation of human rights.
