        abstract = {This article explores the foundational role of Immanuel Kant’s Categorical Imperative in shaping modern human rights discourse. Kant’s emphasis on moral autonomy, universality, and human dignity offers a robust philosophical framework that underpins contemporary human rights principles. By analyzing Kant’s formulations and comparing them with other human rights theories, this study elucidates the enduring relevance of Kantian ethics in addressing current human rights challenges and informing policy development.},
