Human rights are fundamental issues that form the foundation of justice and human dignity in modern societies. Since the issuance of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948, we have observed significant advancements in the mechanisms and methods that enable individuals and groups to assert their legitimate rights and ensure that these rights are respected by states and various entities. However, these mechanisms do not operate randomly; they are structured according to a logical and legal framework known as hierarchical means. This framework allows for a transition from domestic peaceful methods to international avenues when the former are compromised.
