Abstract :
The essay aims to demonstrate how human
rights and state sovereignty are inextricably inter-
related yet incongruous. The theme of the essay has
diverging point of views due to which we cannot
proceed with a single thesis. The essay contends with the
hypothesis that state sovereignty subjugates the
international declarations of human rights because of
supremacy to implement the international laws. The
domestic laws might concur or refuse to adhere to its
policies. However, in certain cases the international
pressure has also endowed the abidance of a state to the
international human right laws. The above-mentioned
hypothesis is supported by historic illustrations. The
essay exemplifies the incidents where sovereignty and
human rights have complemented each other. Thorough
examination of the factors causing the states to approve
to the international instruments which are
contradictory to their national interest is provided.
Finally, the primary purpose is to examine the issues of
denial of right to dignity to the stateless population due
to the vested authority of implementation of human
rights in the hands of sovereign powers.
