THE ROLE OF HUMAN RIGHTS IN THE CONTINUATION OF NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL LAW INTEGRATION

Abstract

Human Rights (HAM) are the moral and legal foundation in the formation of a just and sustainable legal system. In the era of legal globalization, the integration of national and international law is important to maintain the consistency of universal human rights values. This study analyzes how human rights principles act as drivers and balancers in the process of legal integration, both at the national and international levels. play a fundamental role in forming a just and sustainable legal order, both at the national and international levels. In the context of legal integration, human rights function as universal norms that serve as a meeting point between different legal systems. This research was conducted using a systematic literature review approach with the aim of proposing a human rights law paradigm based on human rights obligations. From a legal research perspective, the nature of this research is categorized as prescriptive research. The data in this study are sourced from laws and regulations, books, and scientific articles from national and international journals related to the concept of human rights and human rights law. This study aims to examine how human rights principles can bridge the differences between national and international legal systems, and encourage the formation of legal harmony that is oriented towards justice, equality, and protection of human dignity. The research method used is normative juridical with a comparative approach to various Human Rights instruments such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, as well as national regulations such as Law Number 39 of 1999 concerning Human Rights. The results of the study indicate that the sustainability of legal integration can only be achieved if human rights are used as the main pillar in the preparation, harmonization, and implementation of law. By making human rights the foundation, the legal system will be more adaptive to global dynamics as well as responsive to national needs.
