Draft Charter of Emerging Human Rights

The world arranged itself around a distribution between sovereign states, with each state taking 

responsibility for the group that it represented. In the 21st century, however, we are living 

unavoidably in a world of greater complexity. The inter-State relations and the transnational 

movements are interlinked and crossed with confrontations between States, conflicts that 

persist, and social violences that affect entire regions.

Many States have grown weak and show signs of instability and corruption. Poverty may be seen as one of the most flagrant violations of human rights in this century. The effectiveness of rights is called into question and the issue of 

the violations committed by the States themselves has not been resolved either. These

violations, far from diminishing, are multiplying within a context marked by an obsession for 

security. Together with this, transnational relations create situations that elude the control of 

the States and the effective application of the rights that have been so difficult to proclaim.
