Abstract :

The evolution of human rights on the one hand and the universality of this concept on the other hand have left a tremendous impact on the international system. In this evolution, we see the presence of three different regimes of human rights, including civil rights, social political rights, and collective rights; The justice-oriented view of human rights has been the most important goal of this process in the past 60 years. The effects of this concept on the relations between North and South countries is one of the topics that has been neglected in previous researches.In the present article, the basic question is "what role has human rights played in the convergence of these two areas, considering the growing gap in North-South relations". In response to this question, it can be hypothesized that "despite different perceptions and the priority of the specific interests of each country (both in the North and the South), paying attention to the universality of human rights and the third generation can reduce this gap." This article tries to examine the three concepts of human rights and the close relationship between human rights and development to show that technology transfer can bring new opportunities for southern countries.
