Capabilities of Rights-Based Global State for Maximal Implementation of Human Rights

According to some philosophers, it is feasible and inevitable to establish a rights-based global state (i.e., the unity of humanity under a common political power committed to the norms of human rights) considered the ultimate goal of the nation-state anarchy construct. It is used as the presumption to explain the capabilities of this state to maximally implement human rights. This study aims to determine what attractions a global state should have to maximally implement human rights. For this purpose, a descriptive-analytical method was employed to explain the capabilities of a global state and discuss the characteristics of this state in implementing the norms of human rights separately for the three generations of human rights. The research results indicate the unique attractions of the global state in terms of the exclusive and legitimate use of force (i.e., a Weberian state), mutual identification of all activists (i.e., a Hegelian state), correlation of humanity through control of conflicts and international coordination (i.e., a Kantian state), minimal and essential functionality (i.e., guarantee of negative rights), and establishment of distributive justice and worldwide redistribution of wealth (i.e., guarantee of positive rights). Therefore, such a state can maximally implement human rights.
