Abstrakt: Right, because it relies on coercion, always needs to be justified. However, the transition from a national to a supranational level of a political organization leads to a new problematization of the topic of legitimacy of law. In order for human rights to be the basis for the legitimacy of the legal system at the supranational level, it is necessary to justify their universality. But the thesis of the universality of human rights is disputed, on the one hand, by representatives of some developing countries who accuse the West of cultural imperialism and even of human rights imperialism. And on the other hand, his critics are supporters of communitarianism – a fairly influential trend in Western social and political philosophy (Ch. Taylor, M. Walzer, M. Sandell, etc.). Thus, values that are expressed by the principle of human rights are also declared to be particular, not universal. Considering these moments, the article is supposed to fulfill the following tasks in such directions: The substantiation of human rights and, accordingly, the analysis of the polemic on the question of universalism and the particularism of values. The article examines the current problems for modern society related to the creation and strengthening of social integration at a new supranational level. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
