Abstract

From the human rights point of view, human is an abstract concept that is free of complications. In other words, humans are free from complications such as skin color, race, position and credit standing. In fact, this concept of human beings implies the universality of the human rights. Accordingly, every human being has rights and freedoms to be respected only because of humanity. By the concurrent evolution of the economy and human rights, at the international level, the economics has found a great importance in human rights. Economics imbalances and the rise of poverty and economic inequality at the national and international levels as well as the emergence of economic, political and security crises have demanded a balanced and global development of the economy. Economic, social and cultural rights as well as solidarity rights, including the right to development, have been emphasized in human rights. This article concludes that in order to solve the problems of human societies, human rights must be the basis of the both economic and social planning and policies. On this basis, economic justice can be addressed. In addition, one of the major reasons for domestic and global conflicts and terrorism is poverty and injustice at the national and international levels. Therefore, with the principled support of human rights, the national and international security, along with global development, can be achieved.
