Abstract Views: 142
From the traditional form of laws, human rights were introduced with the need of finding ways to protect humans. Later on, it enumerated to international level setting the obligations of different states defining the laws in particular to protect their citizens. This study involves defining unwritten laws and how they are linked in affecting the human rights. Human right laws make it clear to everyone being entitled to a set of rights and freedom which basically protects one from discrimination and being engaged in forceful activities. The study focuses on human rights being the baseline reflection on how humans should live or be handled. From explanation on how social justice was achieved, the study will shade the light on low flexibility based on different generation. The study will define what is meant by the term unwritten laws and human rights that will promote a clear view on the overall research and make an effective conclusion that will allow other researchers and other users in understanding the need of human right as part of unwritten laws. Through qualitative analysis as the methodology, the study will evaluate other researchers’ findings and their argument on how the unwritten law impacts the good side of human rights. The conclusion will discuss the findings and elaborate on how the unwritten laws impact the effectiveness of human right from the past to the current generation.
