Abstract
Available literature has confirmed that unprecedented levels of human rights violations in the two World Wars, the holocaust in Germany, large scale mass murders, and failure by polities to observe peoples‟ rights necessitated the enactment of legislation to protect people from a repeat of such tragedies. International conventions and protocols were put in place as a watchdog against any future human rights violations. The church joined the furor to fight against human rights violations and state-church interface became centred on the protection of human rights, with the church regarding itself as the secular protector of human rights against abuse by despots. The Lateran Pacts had set precedence where the church separated itself from the secular business of the state but at the same time each pledging to recognise and respect the position of each other. The international community took human rights as a concerted effort by all nations.
