This study aims to identify the ethical and functional foundations of human rights within the framework of the Eastern approach by analyzing a set of perspectives, philosophies, and intellectual traditions that have developed in the East, particularly in the Asian continent. By identifying a range of ethical foundations through thematic structuring of sociological and legal sources, the present research employs thematic analysis as one of the widely used methods in qualitative research. Detailed datasets related to the ethical and functional foundations of human rights within the Eastern approach were extracted, and key patterns were vividly identified. The findings of the study indicate that the ethical foundations of human rights in the Eastern approach are primarily grounded in ethical and religious philosophies such as Confucian philosophy, Indian philosophical traditions, Buddhism, and Islamic human rights. These foundations possess both distinctive and, at times, overlapping features, which are analytically examined in this article. At the same time, the implementation and practical realization of each of these foundations encounter various challenges, including cultural differences, the influence of governmental policies, and social and economic inequalities. The practical analysis of these foundations requires careful consideration of cultural and historical differences within the Eastern approach
so that, through an understanding of such differences, the existing challenges can be effectively addressed and resolved. Human rights, as one of the fundamental concepts of the contemporary world, encompass a set of inherent, inalienable, and non-derogable rights and freedoms belonging to all human beings. These rights exist regardless of gender, religion, race, language, or nationality and are characterized by features such as inviolability, legal enforceability, protection and guarantee, universality, and inherent nature. Given that the Eastern approach to human rights embodies multidimensional perspectives shaped by culture, religious thought, history, political considerations, and social conditions across different periods, the ethical and functional foundations of human rights within this framework require careful and meticulous examination and reflection upon cultural and historical differences. Taking into account such diversity and complexity enables this approach to provide a more comprehensive and contextually appropriate interpretation of human rights. Furthermore, the distinctive orientation of the Eastern approach toward human rights—based on the aforementioned characteristics—represents a noteworthy perspective. One of its prominent features is the emphasis on community and social responsibilities. In contrast to the Western approach to human rights, which places greater emphasis on humanism and individualism, the Eastern perspective seeks to achieve a balanced outcome between the individual and the collective, thereby offering a more effective conceptual framework for the analysis of human rights.
