Threats to human rights in a globalized world

The purpose of the article is to investigate the human rights threats associated with globalization, to identify the consequences of the transformation of human rights under the influence of globalization and to prevent them. The following issues were considered to achieve the research objectives: the essence of globalization, its positive and negative consequences were determined; the existing threats to human rights were identified; the main factors of crime in the age of globalization are described; crime is considered as a form of violation of human rights. The system of philosophical, general-scientific and special-scientific methods was applied to obtain reliable results, in particular: formal-logical, systemic, structural-functional, formal-legal methods and the method of comparison. The following statements have been established in the research process: certain democratic values, including rights and freedoms, can be used as a means of geopolitical influence under the influence of globalization processes; such negative phenomena as extremism, terrorism, poverty are the causes of human rights violations; criminal threats cannot be considered outside the context of globalizing and humanitarian processes in a globalizing society; crime is one of the factors that affects social life and violates human rights, especially the right to life, liberty and personal integrity.
