Superpowers Role and Instrumental Use of Human Rights Documents
Superpowers, with their undisputed influence, hold a monopolistic role in drafting, interpreting, and implementing international documents. They strategically use human rights instruments as a weapon against other nations, while brazenly violating rights themselves and evading accountability. Often presented with righteous content and humanitarian slogans, these documents effectively become tools for exerting political influence and preserving the dominance of these global powers.
