Resumo: In conceptual terms, human rights laws are universal in nature but whether they are really universal in practice is a question of research. A small portion of this paper covers the historical debates on the understanding and implementation of universalism in western philosophical order and the fundamental problems associated with Asian discursive practices. In the case of the latter, due to regional relativism, the western version of universalism cannot be put to practice, as evident in the critique from several Asian countries of what they regarded as western values expressed in the Universal Declaration of human rights, 1948. When it comes to India, it is a known fact that it is a country rich with diversity, deep cultural values and multitudinous ethnicities. Against this diversity, the concept of universalism loses firm ground and other factors overpower. All these cultural differences, historical developments and evolving conceptualisations of human rights gradually lead to an Indian interpretation and understanding in the expanse of human rights. An overview of the shaping of human rights as a concept and praxis would reveal how momentous changes have been taking place through judicial intervention and global world watch. This paper captures the trajectory of expansion in the field of human rights and implementation mechanisms through judicial intervention and activism to attain the values of universalism in the national and International legal framework

Uma pequena parte deste artigo abrange os debates históricos sobre a compreensão e implementação do universalismo na ordem filosófica ocidental e os problemas fundamentais associados às práticas discursivas asiáticas. No caso deste último, devido ao relativismo regional, a versão ocidental do universalismo não pode ser posta em prática, como evidenciado na crítica de vários países asiáticos ao que consideravam valores ocidentais expressos na Declaração Universal dos Direitos Humanos, de 1948. Quando se trata da Índia, é um fato conhecido que é um país rico em diversidade, valores culturais profundos e etnias multitudinárias. Contra essa diversidade, o conceito de universalismo perde terreno firme e outros fatores dominam. Todas essas diferenças culturais, desenvolvimentos históricos e conceituações em evolução dos direitos humanos gradualmente levam a uma interpretação e compreensão indiana na expansão dos direitos humanos. Uma visão geral da formação dos direitos humanos como conceito e práxis revelaria como mudanças importantes têm ocorrido por meio da intervenção judicial e da vigilância mundial global. Este artigo capta a trajetória de expansão no campo dos direitos humanos e dos mecanismos de implementação por meio da intervenção judicial e do ativismo para alcançar os valores do universalismo no arcabouço jurídico nacional e internacional.Universidade Católica de Petrópolis2023-02-23info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://seer.ucp.br/seer/index.php/LexHumana/article/view/2414Lex Humana (ISSN 2175-0947); Vol. 15 No. 1 (2023): JAN.-MAR.; 401-414Lex Humana (ISSN 2175-0947); v. 15 n. 1 (2023): JAN.-MAR.; 401-4142175-0947reponame:Lex Humanainstname:Universidade Católica de Petrópolis (UCP)instacron:UCPenghttps://seer.ucp.br/seer/index.php/LexHumana/article/view/2414/3430Copyright (c) 2023 Lex Humana (ISSN 2175-0947)https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPachori, Anviksha2023-02-27T09:50:28Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/2414Revistahttp://seer.ucp.br/seer/index.php?journal=LexHumanaPUBhttp://seer.ucp.br/seer/index.php/LexHumana/oai||sergio.salles@ucp.br2175-09472175-0947opendoar:2023-02-27T09:50:28Lex Humana - Universidade Católica de Petrópolis (UCP)false
