Position and role of human rights in political systems

During this panel, participants will attempt to diagnose the position and role of human rights in contemporary political systems and the main challenges involved. The evolution of the position and role of human rights in political systems is a broad and complex topic involving changes in the legal framework, changes in social values and the impact of international relations.
The role of human rights in political systems is currently characterised by both advances and setbacks. Despite significant progress in the recognition and protection of human rights around the world, many challenges remain, including authoritarianism, armed conflict, social inequality, and freedom of expression. The evolving nature of these rights requires constant adaptation of legal and policy frameworks to meet new challenges.
The evolution of human rights in political systems reflects the journey from the privileges of the few to the inalienable rights of all individuals, influenced by historical events, philosophical ideas and social movements. This evolution continues today as societies and their political systems attempt to cope with the complex and changing landscape of human rights in the 21st century.
