Abstract

Research on how universal human rights fit different socio-cultural settings still remains largely lacking. This paper sheds light under what understandings and circumstances universal human rights fit many socio-religious settings. It argues that human rights have been traditionally practices of many religions and culture yet need to further documented. Under intensive desk study and preliminary fieldwork, this research reveals two pivotal findings. First, the practice of human rights is not exclusively done by western countries yet it has been tied up with many socio-religious settings. Next, the universal values do not mean uniformity of cultural-based ideology. The findings imply that first, the values of Human rights are already universal and second, how the universal values are implemented in different settings of socio-religious cultures.
