The concept of fundamental rights is integral to the framework of human rights, forming a critical subset of universal rights that safeguard the dignity, freedom, and equality of individuals. These rights are typically enshrined in national constitutions or international human rights agreements and are often seen as inalienable, essential to the well-being of individuals. As societal norms and legal frameworks evolve, the scope and interpretation of fundamental rights continue to adapt in response to contemporary challenges, such as digital privacy, environmental justice, and gender equality. This paper explores the relationship between fundamental rights and human rights, focusing on the recent developments that shape their boundaries and implementation in various jurisdictions. In light of recent global trends, including technological advancements, shifting political landscapes, and international human rights discourse, the paper analyzes how fundamental rights are being expanded or redefined. Key themes include the role of international law in the protection of fundamental rights, the intersection of rights with emerging technologies (such as artificial intelligence and privacy rights), and the growing emphasis on social and economic rights as fundamental components of human dignity.
