Balancing Between Human Rights And State's Right To Maintain Its National Security

Abstract

Human rights moved to the international sphere after the establishment of the United Nations in 1945 through the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948 and the treaties that followed it, which formed what is called the International Bill of Human Rights, and civil and political rights were the first generation of human rights generations guaranteed by the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights of 1966, the balance between human rights and the state's right to self-preservation is a key pillar between the state's desire to preserve its national security and its provision of the rights and freedoms of individuals, as the balance between them has become an important factor in measuring the effectiveness of the measures taken by the state in the light of human rights standards, the more security prevails, the more human rights are the victims, which requires finding a balance between the measures taken by the state to preserve its national security and the protection of human rights.
