Papers on human rights and sovereignty
The duality of national sovereignty: the highest internal and independent external characteristics determine that the five principles of peaceful settlement, including the principle of non-interference, are the basic norms for handling international relations. Although many big countries advocate outdated sovereignty theory and universalism of human rights, this cannot hide the fact that human rights are based on the right to subsistence and development. If a country lacks legal rule and government, the so-called humanitarian aid flowing in from abroad can hardly fundamentally bring stability and development to the local people (see Haiti and Afghanistan today). The development of human rights is an important embodiment of the democratization process of international relations and a trace of warmth brought by the ruthless international game of neoliberalism. But without sovereignty, human rights can only be a mirage, out of reach.
