Human Rights, Ethics, and Religion in the Modern World

Abstract

The discourse on human rights, ethics, and religion has become increasingly relevant in the modern world, where global interconnectedness highlights tensions between universal values and cultural particularities. This article explores the intricate relationship among these three domains, emphasizing their convergence and divergence in shaping contemporary societies. Human rights are often considered universal and legally binding, while ethical frameworks differ across traditions, and religious beliefs provide both foundational and contested grounds for moral action. By analyzing philosophical perspectives, religious traditions, and contemporary debates, this article demonstrates that the dialogue between religion and human rights is essential for fostering global peace, tolerance, and social justice.
