drugs and international terrorism, are
increasing issues related to supranational
policy settings which do not corroborate
with national governances and existing
political unions; and their effective
resolution
requires
international
cooperation
through
international
organizations.
A lot of theoretic efforts have been
made in the organized and legal
explanation on international relations
cooperation, and the accountability of
countries can be pursued s one of the
cooperation parts in this process, but
there is no general single theory with
regards to international cooperation that
is accepted by all international thinkers
and policy setters. Each person is within
the theoretic, world seeing, values,
discourse and assumption and different
views from the realities that society and
international relations have, view this
issue.
Of course the findings of the author,
there is a possibility of the liberalism
school and its sub-divisions has a
better cover in regards to the theory of
increased accountability of countries
in international circles. This subject
is due to the optimistic view that the
followers of this school of thought
have. Nonetheless, the liberalism view
cannot be seen as the inclusion of all
realities of international relations. No
single solution can fully determine
the complexity of human rights in the
foundation of today’s world of policies
and communications, and present
conclusive solutions for these issues.
Human rights issues and countries
relations are so complex that it cannot
be understood with one theory and one
school of thought, and to rely on that
to solve problems. Our complex world
requires a complex and comprehensive
mentality, and this means the necessity
to benefit from all ides to understand
international relations and the subject of
the accountability of countries towards
international human rights institutions.
Therefore, it is better that instead of
adopting a single solution to define
the behaviour and accountability of
countries towards human rights issues
and international organizations that are
custodians of these rights, to arrange
different ideas. Competition between
ideas, helps to show their weak and
strong points, and will be a catalyst for
their correction and evolvement. But
we must have creativity in selecting
and combining these ideas, and avoid
the abandonment of one and selecting
another.
Therefore it can be concluded that
liberal ideologies and its sub divisions
cal alongside benefiting from realism
ideologies can better function in the
“accountability of countries towards
international human rights institutions”
issues.
The Human Rights Council and the
UPR mechanism have place principles
such as universality, mutual coherency
and dialogue among countries for the
promotion of human rights, in its top
agenda. At the same time one of the
positive points of the new process
compared to previous mechanisms is
the glimmers of hope that is established
among nations that continually are
targeted by a coalition of countries
solely on political purposes and not
human rights ones. Although there are
discrepancies in this method too, but in
comparisonwith the former Commission
on Human Rights, the procedure can be
much fairer, because in this method, the
Therefore it can be concluded that liberal
ideologies and its sub divisions cal alongside
benefiting from realism ideologies can better
function in the “accountability of countries
towards international human rights institutions”
issues.
