The universality of human rights is perhaps the most critical dimension of the issue in the past sixty years. On the other hand, the process of globalization has brought with it opportunities as well as threats to the promotion and protection of human rights. Spreading poverty and underdevelopment, large scale migration and refugee flows, escalation of internal conflicts and the flows of internally displaced, HIV pandemics and terrorism are among the most pressing threats against the universality of human rights. The menaces against human rights, however, dose not exhaust with the above mentioned phenomena. Other factors such as the western attitudes consolidated by their benefit from the opportunities presented by the process of globalization, giving them the lion share of it in the form of cumulative wealth and power are also responsible for the ever increasing erosion of the universality of human rights worldwide. To preserve their supremacy and domination in the world and to strengthen their global economic and political power, they do not spare any effort including subordinating universal human rights to the variety of illegitimate considerations. This brief article seeks to summarize these considerations into three categories. The first is the "security considerations" particularly after the September 11th advanced by the western countries in the name "combating against terrorism". The second is the "political considerations" shaped by the mere inclusion of human rights within the Foreign and Security Policy in the western countries. It is within this policy that the western countries are obliged to adjust the protection of human rights with other interests in their foreign policy. The last but not least is the disregard of "cultural diversity" in the world in general and in the western countries in particular in a bid to realize cultural conformity and to defend their political ideologies. The article finally maintains that the actual outcome of these self-centered considerations, arising from the negative side of globalization, is the erosion of the universal human rights worldwide.
