8 pages in length. The struggle to impose universal human rights through international legal institutions continues to be a difficult objective to obtain. While much of the global community extends the aspect of rights to incorporate all class, race and gender, others are not as socially or culturally evolved even now in the twenty-first century to have reached the point where everyone is afforded the same level of civil liberties that are inherent to no other prerequisite than simply being born. Islam is an example of how traditional cultural/religious beliefs have failed to progress with the growing understanding of - and subsequent change toward - a more equitable distribution of rights. Power and coercion are two very powerful elements within the subtext of gender inequality. Based upon a foundation of social subordination and social order, gender division has long been - and continues to be - a result of strategic construct that flies in the face of any attempts by international legal institutions to universalize human rights.

Mankind has constantly struggled to claim rights that are inherent to him by virtue of being born a human being, a quest that took shape at
the point where he realized how he - as a person - differed so greatly from other sentient creatures. The resistance imposed upon this perpetual effort has been marred
by those whose self-proposed mission is to make sure only certain people are privileged enough to have the benefit of human rights, a centuries-long struggle that is no closer to
finding a resolution today even with the help of some very powerful entities. The philosophical underpinning of such blatant inhumanity is, according to theories of human nature, an expected
behavior by a species that harbors innate rivalry; indeed, one of mans most developed - if not unsavory - characteristics is his desire to compete with his own kind to
