探討人權問題必須以全世界的規模，慮及人類尊嚴之提昇，將其存在之各種社會關係與對社會發展和幸福之要求列入考量，此點亦為聯合成立之目的之一。因此，聯合憲章第一條第三項明白指出，聯合國須「促進國際合作，以解決國際間屬於經濟、社會、文化及人類福利性質之國際問題，且不分種族、性吸、語言、或宗教，增進並激勵對於全體人類之人權及基本自由之尊重。」 在此前提下，憲章第七條第一項及二項所提及的聯合所有主要機關及輔助機關，均負有為保障人權而行動之任務。聯合國會員國透過加入或批准此領域之國際文件而負起明確之責任，再隨著人權獲得國際性的承認，使得所有國家均平等地負起尊重人權的義務。就此而言，聯合國在國際人權保障的範疇內，扮演極為重要的角色。 基於促進人權及基本自由之立場，聯合國在其組織內進行設定國際人權基準的草擬作業，以及推動相關國際文件之普遍受容及履行。本文牨將焦點置於設定此類國際人權基準的草擬作業，其後再進一步探討根據聯合憲章設立的國際性人權實施機構，以及依聯合國主導下通過的各項國際人權文件所設立的國際性人權保障機構，研析此類機關於人權問題上所採用之程序及實踐，希望藉此闡明聯合國與際人權保障體制的關係。

All members of the United Nations also take responsibility through joining or ratifying international documents in relevant areas, and equally fulfill their obligations for respect for human rights along with the recognition of human rights in international society.

Based on its standpoint human rights and fundamental freedom, the Untied Nations will set up drafting procedures of international human right standards within its organizations, and push for acceptance and implementation of relevant international documents. This Article will first focus on the setting-up of drafting procedures of international human right standards, and further discuss various international human right implementation mechanism established by the United Nations Charters.
