Pancasila and Human Right In Global Perspective

Abstract

This article explains the relationship between Pancasila, the philosophical foundation of the Indonesian state, and the concept of human rights within a global constitutional framework.The globalization of human rights promotes universal standards of dignity and freedom. However, the implementation of these values in Indonesia is through the ethical and spiritual dimensions contained in Pancasila. By exploring this interaction, this article highlights how Pancasila provides a contextual and culturally grounded meaning for human rights that bridges universal norms with local wisdom. Using qualitative methods based on a literature review and normative legal analysis, this study finds that Pancasila neither rejects nor passively adopts global human rights principles. Instead, Pancasila offers a model of harmonization rooted in a moral balance between individual freedom and collective responsibility. This article concludes that Pancasila-based constitutionalism can contribute to the global human rights discourse by presenting a model of humanism that is inclusive, spiritual, and socially just.
