ABSTRACT
A continuing discussion is the culturalist relativist approach to human rights,
particularly in Asia where cultural values and traditions are greatly valued. This essay
seeks to assess this strategy from the standpoint of Asia. The fundamental ideas of
cultural relativism are examined, as well as how they affect such human rights as
freedom of speech, gender equality, and marriage.
This study looks at the difficulties that the cultural relativist approach to the promotion
and defense of human rights in Asia poses. It assesses the arguments in favour of and
against the cultural relativist viewpoint and offers academic examples from several
Asian nations, including China and Myanmar, to show how the viewpoint can be used
to violate human rights.
The study concludes by arguing that, while cultural values and traditions are important,
they should not be used to justify violations of human rights. It suggests that human
rights be regarded as universal and indivisible, and that cultural traditions and practices
be reassessed to ensure that they do not violate human rights. This study also
emphasizes the significance of regional protection mechanisms in promoting and
defending human rights in Asia, and it advocates for the application of international
human rights norms.
This essay offers a critical assessment of Asia's cultural relativist approach to human
rights. It emphasizes the significance of acknowledging the universality of human
rights while also preserving cultural values and customs. This study stresses the
importance of a balanced approach to human rights, one that takes cultural values and
traditions into account while respecting human rights principles. This article indicates
that regional protection mechanisms can play an important role in promoting and
defending human rights in Asia, and it urges that international human rights norms be
implemented.
