Abstract

The present study aims to examine the role of economic approaches to human rights in achieving good governance, political stability, and international security. This research is applied in terms of purpose and qualitative in nature, employing a descriptive–analytical method based on documentary and survey data. The findings indicate that, given the direct relationship between violations of economic human rights, poverty, and insecurity, attention to these approaches not only reduces human rights violations but also functions as a necessary precondition for attaining domestic and international stability. Poverty and inequality arising from the violation of economic human rights pose a serious threat to global peace and security—an issue that the United Nations Charter also underscores by emphasizing the responsibilities of states and international institutions in addressing these challenges. Improving the condition of economic human rights can reduce insecurity
and strengthen good governance within a society. This improvement is among the most significant factors in reducing poverty and mitigating various forms of inequality, particularly economic inequality among individuals and social groups. Consideration of economic approaches to human rights, in addition to diminishing human rights violations, helps political leaders recognize that national stability, social calm, and the attainment of good governance are achievable through the realization of economic human rights.
