Summary/Abstract: Human rights are properly expressed in international treaties, but there is a permanent danger and a lasting trend to perceive principles as phrases, and to divorce them from realities. Patterns of thinking born in ideologies may survive the ideology itself. Positive inspirations might also turn into a swing detached from realities. Threats to human rights are changing, and solutions can only be crafted after confrontation with present threats. It is critically important to create a true perception of human rights, including rights of minorities or rights of socially unequal people. The phenomenon of modern slavery that has gained some ground must not be disregarded. Equality can only become reality if its concept includes an equal opportunity to maintain cultural and religious differences. One must look at human rights form a close distance, and protection can only function if our efforts are focusing on present menaces.
