A glimmer of hope in the fight for the promotion and protection of human dignity and basic human rights is international human rights law (IHRL). individuals worldwide. Yet, its efficacy depends heavily on the robustness of enforcement mechanisms and their adaptation to the complexities of a globalized world. This paper explores the various enforcement mechanisms within IHRL, ranging from international treaties and conventions to regional human rights bodies and domestic legal systems. It delves into the challenges facing these mechanisms, including issues of jurisdiction, state sovereignty, political will, and resource constraints. Moreover, it examines how globalization, with its interconnectedness and transnational nature, both facilitates and complicates the enforcement of human rights norms. The paper concludes by highlighting the need for enhanced cooperation among states, international organizations, civil society actors, and other stakeholders to overcome these challenges and ensure the effective enforcement of IHRL in a rapidly evolving global landscape.
