The link between literature and human rights, with an emphasis on a humanistic perspective and the importance of humanity as such, has deep roots. Henri Charrière's novel "Papillon" is not merely an adventurous tale of successive escapes, but also a powerful document of the gross and systemic violation of human rights in the French penal colonies of Guiana in the early 20th century.
This article, through a detailed analysis of the experiences and observations of the main character, Papillon, examines numerous instances of fundamental rights violations, including the right to life, prohibition of torture and cruel punishments, the right to liberty and personal security, prohibition of slavery and forced labor, and the right to a fair trial. The novel clearly depicts the inhumane living conditions, malnutrition, disease, relentless violence, and widespread deprivations that trampled upon the inherent dignity of human beings.
Concurrently, this research emphasizes Papillon's continuous resistance and indomitable will as the main character and a symbol of the human spirit to preserve human dignity and achieve freedom, interpreting his actions as an intrinsic response to the deprivation of fundamental rights.
Finally, by comparing these events with modern human rights standards (such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights), this analytical essay concludes that "Papillon" is not only a historical account but also a constant reminder of the necessity to safeguard human rights and a warning against systems that enslave humanity and mock and ridicule the inherent dignity of human beings. May humanity respect the humanity of others and refrain from being base towards fellow human beings."
