What is the importance of Human Rights to national sovereignty

INTRODUCTION

Global society today is afflicted by a pernicious malaise , the malaise of ambiguity . Nationalism , in the universal sense , generally derives its meaning from the status of governance , nowadays . Race , gender , and ethnicity no longer mandate the locative point of nationalistic ideals The world , as still recovering from the historical byproducts of the pervasive spirit of the colonialist strain , fails to recognize that the empowerment of these groups of men , thus converged into their organized yet specific constructs , relies solely now

on very territorial political assumptions

Territory , is greatly dictating the laws of our present world While some member countries of the United Nations choose macroeconomic integration and cultural cooperation [such as in the case of the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN ) and the European Council / Union (EC EU )] , there are also these member countries who choose to allow for the practices and machinations of degeneration [such as in the case of the Islamic Nations] .
