Is there a Human Rights Crisis?

Summary/Abstract: This article poses the question of the human rights crisis and its causes. The manifestations of the crisis are the widening of the subject and object range of the category of human rights and the ineffectiveness of human rights protection. In particular, among the causes, the process of displacement this issue to the field of positive law, which is characteristic for contemporary human rights research, is pointed out. This process is accompanied by the abandonment of philosophical justifications: legal-natural and anthropological. This process results that the normative character of human nature can be forgotten. Attention is drawn to the image of the human being as a subject of rights in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and its convergence with the basic data of realistic philosophical anthropology, which makes it possible to show the operative sense of the category of human nature in the rereading of the basic human rights and its content. The article also comments on other manifestations and causes of the crisis in the recognition and realisation of human rights.
