Abstract
The history of Human Rights (HR) is often a story of success, where different obstacles have been overcome and the UN declaration of HR from 1948 marks the end of a centuries long struggle with different forces that has been against the fulfillment. In my article I question the often over-simplified understanding of the emergence of human rights standards and argue out of HR and religion that the relation is to say the least multi-layered.
