Human rights, by definition, are universal. On the other hand, when the views based on human rights are examined, it is seen that these views are not the common product of the cultures in which all people are represented, on the contrary, a certain culture is dominant in the emergence of human rights. In other words, the foundations that make up the claim of the universality of human rights are largely local in contrast to this claim: Human rights were developed under the influence of Western European culture. Therefore, this article focuses on the problem arising from this contradiction: Can a thought emerging under the influence of a particular culture be universal? This is not possible according to the cultural relativism perspective that approaches human rights critically. In this article, first of all, the above mentioned contradiction will be tried to be put forward, then the approach of cultural relativism will be deliberated, and finally, it will be examined whether it is possible to put a measure to reconcile universality and relativism.
