Abstract

The phenomenon of globalisation has added a new dimension to the ongoing debate on human rights on various platforms. In present times the forces of globalisation are being looked with an eye of distrust and are considered as concern for the protection and promotion of human rights. But the protagonists of globalisation look at it as opportunity for proliferation of human rights in long term. This paper explores the some of the contradictions of these paradoxical claims and endeavoured to understand that how process globalisation has affected some of the basic human rights like education, health and food.
