Abstract: The tension between international human rights norms and national sovereignty remains one of the most contentious issues in contemporary global politics. While international law emphasizes the universality of human rights, the principle of sovereignty allows states to maintain autonomy over their internal affairs. This paper explores the theoretical foundations, key facts, case studies, and contemporary issues in the politics of human rights, focusing on the complex interplay between international norms and national sovereignty. Through an analysis of existing literature, recent events, and geopolitical conflicts, the study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of how these factors influence global human rights practices. The findings suggest that while international human rights norms have made significant strides, selective enforcement and national interests continue to undermine their universality.
