Human Rights and States Paradoxes

The concept of human rights has been issued since the seventeenth century in the international community. Human rights during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries were evaluated under the sovereignty. Abuse of human rights are the main problem in the states, although the states are responsible to protect any individual who lives in its territory. Although states have responsibility to protect their citizens or other people from any threat or human rights abuses, states are the main violator of the human rights. There is a dilemma in the human rights in terms of states responsibility and its role. Therefore, the main aim of this article is to identify and examine the human rights and states paradoxes.
