Human Rights Crisis, as a Factor Procuring Conflict, and Ingenious Interventions by External Actors

In line with the theory of interdependency of human rights, all issues that affect the human condition in society inevitably have a significant effect on the rights and liberties of persons. So the violation of economic rights for instance, can create a negative domino effect that resultantly undermines civil rights and vice versa. Thus, the role of the State in upholding public trust, eradicating poverty, and ensuring that peoples are free from oppression, injustice and all forms of violence, is very consequential to the human rights of citizens, as well as peace and political stability; and for preventing circumstances that might compel citizens to have recourse, as a last resort, to rebellion against tyranny and oppression. So it is imperative that human rights are protected by the rule of law, that is why the orthodoxy is for national and international laws to emphasize the State's duty to respect, protect, and fulfil human rights. On the other hand, systemic corruption is antithetical to good governance, and contrary to the rule of law – so one of the major ramifications of protracted practices of systemic corruption is a human rights crisis; and other associated problems like political instability, and war in extreme cases. Thus, this research portrays how systemic corruption and gross violations of human rights procure wars and political instability, which leads to more violations during conflicts, as a consequence of the violence, loss of life, starvation and other ramifications of war. Reference is also made to the role of external actors, who intervene either for just or manipulative purposes, which are preventable if the government upholds public trust.
