the protection of human rights has become a central focus of international law, leading to the development of legal norms that seek to guarantee fundamental freedoms and dignity for all individuals. Over the past decades, a comprehensive framework of international treaties, conventions, and customary legal principles has been established to hold states accountable for human rights violations. However, the effectiveness of these norms is often challenged by issues of enforcement, state sovereignty, and evolving global challenges such as digital rights and climate change. This article examines the key legal instruments that safeguard human rights, explores the role of international courts and organizations in their enforcement, and discusses emerging trends in the field of human rights law.
