Introduction
In the last thirty years, there have been numerous articles who studied the violation of human rights. Moreover, there are thousands of papers on the consequences of those violations such as the authors and the victims of human rights violation, the war, the international intervention and how independent countries were born worldwide in the post-decolonized world. However, little has been done in presenting the causes that leads to the violation of the human rights, and apart from declarations, less than few actions have been taken in preventing human’s right violations to happen in the first place. Or how we could have new countries being born without violating anyone’s right, so that we can prevent the violation of human’s right in the future and settle disputes in non-conflict manners.
The end of the Second World War and the influence of the American hegemony in Europe shaped the borders of Europe. The decolonization process that was taking place around the world brought nationalism on its highest level of attention among societies, thus, we can say that the decolonization of third-world countries had an enormous effect for the European nations as well. With the rise of nationalism, ethnic and nation groups declared independence, formed governments, and created alliances with other governments by forming unions and federations with other sovereign states. However, the fall of the Soviet Union in the beginning of the 1990’s, and the American diplomatic influence in Europe during the mid-1990s, brought a new era in the Eastern Europe. The ethnic based nationalism got the attention of ethnic groups within those federations. Due to a higher level of education, minority groups acknowledged their rights and privileges, ...

After World War II, Europe emerged as a continent torn between two very different political ideologies, Communism and Democracy. As the two major superpowers, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and the United States, struggled to defend their respective governmental policies, the European Continent was caught in an intrinsic struggle to preserve the autonomy which had taken so long to achieve. During the Cold War, Eastern European nations struggled to achieve autonomy with the help of the West's dedication to break the Soviet sphere of influence. After the disintegration of the USSR, the struggle for autonomy among nations shifted from an intense, inward, nationalistic struggle to break away from a superpower to a commitment of international unity and cooperation as nations began to take moral and political responsibility for their actions.

There have been many humanitarians that strive to help countries suffering with human rights abuses. People think that the help from IGOs and NGOs will be enough to stop human rights violations. However, it hasn’t been effective. Every day, more and more human rights violations happen. The problem is escalating.

On December 10th 1948, the General Assembly adopted a Universal Declaration of Human Rights. This declaration, although not legally binding, created “a common standard of achievement for all people and all nations.to promote respect for those rights and freedoms” (Goodhart, 379). However, many cultures assert that the human rights policies outlined in the declaration undermine cultural beliefs and practices. This assertion makes the search for universal human rights very difficult to achieve. I would like to focus on articles 3, 14 and 25 to address how these articles could be modified to incorporate cultural differences, without completely undermining the search for human rights practices.
