Human rights as an issue in international politics: charting its history to present times
by Koyel Basu
International Journal of Human Rights and Constitutional Studies (IJHRCS), Vol. 9, No. 3, 2022

Abstract: Human rights, a significant issue in international politics has not received due attention until recently. Post-1945 world order made promises to keep citizens' rights secured but the COVID-19 pandemic exposed and deepened the already existent fissures in society. There is a humanitarian crisis across nations where egalitarian measures are few and far between. In South Asia, India and Pakistan are two important nations that witness rampant human rights violations, which aggravated in this pandemic. One country experiences civil-military rule desperate to flaunt its democratic credentials and the other, its bête noire, is carrying on its exclusionary policies in the garb of tackling the crisis as it has unleashed its authoritarian measures despite being the largest democracy in the world. Both countries have failed its citizens.
