Dilemmas and misuses of human rights

The simple existence of human rights does not mean

that the violations do not exist anymore.

Could the protection of human rights lead

sometimes to the restriction of the rights of others?
 Conflict of rights:

Is it acceptable to restrict the rights of minorities in

the name of national security? If so, should there be
any limits?
 Cultural traditions:
Arranged marriages for young girls…Should such a
practice be banned in order to protect the young girls?
Or would that be failing to respect a different cultural
tradition?
 Violations in the name of a good cause:

Can the defense of human rights be used to justify a

military campaign? (Iraq, Afghanistan, etc.).
