ABSTRACT
This chapter analyzes the global mechanisms that promote human rights in the light of the need for protection of individuals and minorities in the world. The UN framework is a thick framework, comprising all kinds of human rights. Rule of law requires judicial activism in the sense that the courts of a country remain active all the time in checking whether legality is obeyed. The International Court of Justice or the World Court has limited jurisdiction, if they agree to transfer the issues to the court. One may divide the theory of human rights into three sections: negative rights, positive rights and collective or group rights. Economic crimes need not be restricted to countries that are close to anarchy. The Financial Action Task Force on Money Laundering is an intergovernmental body which promotes policies to combat money laundering. Global terrorism threatens vital state interests, especially when funded through global transnational crime such as drugs, smuggling and arms sales.
