The modern concepts of human rights crystallized after the world war It (1939 – 1945).After
the war put its heavy load, the independent countries established the united Nations organization.
This organization issued its charter which became one of
the first documents of the
international human rights. The charter stated the promotion of respecting human rights and the
basic freedoms of all people without any discrimination because of gender, language or religion,
and no difference between men and women. And since the charter lacked a list which deals in
detail with the human rights, the united Nations issued the international announcement of the
human rights on 10th December, 1948, which included the main principles of civilian, political,
economic, social and cultural rights as well as individual freedoms.
The reinforcement of the role of the united nations in preserving human rights came through
the adoption of the international treaty of civil and political rights and the international treaty of
economic, social and cultural rights in the year 1966. Those treaties provided the cover and the
legal protection for a lot of rights which the international declaration of the human rights stated.
Since then, many other treaties adopted different cases such as the treatment of prisoners, the
situation of refugees, women rights and children rights.
The application of the rules of the international law can be specified on both the internal
national level and the international level through the work and the mutual effect from countries and
with the help of national and international procedures. It is necessary that this is done through
modifying these rules according to the national law that is applied in each country. The application
of the legal rule in the national law plays a crucial role in applying the international rule in the field
of human rights. In order to comply with the international criterion of human rights, it is necessary
for the Arab countries to ratify the basic agreements of human rights, taking into consideration the
peculiarity of the history of the development of each country. These purposes should help in the
activity of the international and social organizations of human rights.
