Major powers accused of weaponising human rights norms
Original: Human rights: when major powers weaponise universal norms for geopolitical gain
A new commentary argues that major powers selectively invoke universal human rights norms to serve their own geopolitical interests rather than genuine humanitarian concerns. The piece contends that human rights language is used as an instrument of foreign policy, deployed against rivals and ignored when applied to allies, undermining the credibility of the international system meant to protect them.
Why now: Ongoing geopolitical conflicts have renewed debate over whether human rights concerns are applied consistently or used strategically by powerful states.
