Summary/Abstract: Human rights are basic to humanity. They apply to all people everywhere. An understanding of human rights is important part of our individual status as human beings and of our collective status as members of the global community of humankind. One of the fundamental bedrocks of human rights is the principle that all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. Discrimination and prosecution on the grounds of race and ethnicity are clear violation of this principle. Racial discrimination can take many forms from the most brutal and institutional form of racisms - genocide and apartheid, to more covert forms whereby certain racial and ethnic groups are prevented from enjoying the same civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights as other groups in society. This article will address the case of Kosovo on human rights violation during the armed conflict and its consequences, as well as the future of the country in human rights promotion and protection. Also, the paper will emphasize the recognition of Kosovo as a fundamental right for a state and if this recognition will happen one day in the entire world.
