Globalization is a complex and multifaceted process that has reshaped the world in various dimensions, such as economic, social, cultural, and political. It has brought about unprecedented opportunities and challenges for human rights, which are the universal and inalienable rights that every human being is entitled to. This research paper aims to examine the effects of globalization on human rights from different perspectives and contexts, using a multidisciplinary and comparative approach. The main research questions are how does globalization influence the normative and legal framework of human rights at the global and national levels? How does globalization affect the roles and responsibilities of different actors in protecting and promoting human rights, such as states, international organizations, civil society, and corporations? How does globalization impact the experiences and aspirations of various groups and individuals, such as women, children, minorities, migrants, and indigenous peoples, in claiming and enjoying their human rights? The paper will employ a mixed-methods design, combining quantitative and qualitative data from various sources, such as international human rights treaties, reports, indicators, case studies, interviews, and surveys. It will analyze the data using descriptive and inferential statistics, content analysis, and thematic analysis. The paper will also adopt a human rights-based approach, which emphasizes the principles of equality, non- discrimination, participation, accountability, and transparency in the research process. The paper expects to find that globalization has both positive and negative effects on human rights, depending on the context and the actors involved. It will argue that globalization can be a catalyst or a hindrance to human rights advancement, depending on how it is governed and regulated by the international community and national authorities. It will also suggest that globalization can be an opportunity or a threat for human rights advocacy and education, as well as a challenge or a facilitator for human rights protection and enforcement. The paper will conclude with some recommendations for policymakers, practitioners, researchers, and civil society on harnessing the potential and mitigating the risks of globalization for human rights.
