Recognizing the positive and negative elements of human rights in Middle East could help us promote and protect human rights as well as the rights of individuals in the Middle East. In the Middle East, two powerful institution including state and tradition are the main obstacles toward the ratifications of human rights conventions. The ambiguity of human rights refers to the definition of this expression. The Middle East governments are not interested in making a clear definition of human rights. This ambiguity is one of the reasons the Middle Eastern governments can violate the rights of their peoples. Furthermore, various Middle Eastern academics support the violation of human rights. The issue of proportionality, double personalities and government intervention in university courses and the confirmation of government officials in the meeting with the governors are other main obstacle toward human rights in Middle East.
