The human right as the natural law and ethics is rooted in human conscience. The divine books and in particular the holy Quran, the teachings of prophets and righteous have defined the foundations of morality as a solid base for the human rights, including the fundamental rights, freedom and dignity of the human being.
The new international regimes of the human rights are in fact a post-world war II phenomenon which was created as a result of gross violation of human rights by Western countries, inhuman crimes and atrocities during the world wars, mass murder and genocide.
The present article adopting the international regimes approach, aims to do a critical assessment of the role of great powers, in particular the United States, in creation of the human rights documents. The great powers, the author concludes, while contributing to the emergence of international regimes, try to preserve their hegemony on these regimes and to ignore or violate them if they deem it inconsistent with their interests. After evaluation of human rights regimes, the principles of Islamic human rights which are rich of human and moral elements are elaborated.
