For this purpose, in the first part, in addition to studying the concept of human rights, the status of moral values in the intellectual foundations of the Declaration of Human Rights would investigated. In the second part, in addition to explaining the global trade, it shows that there is a decline trend in the moral values in the capitalist economy; and finally, in the third part, in addition to explaining the principles of human rights, the reasons for the weakening of moral values and not regarding human rights in practical consideration, recognized as having problems in the theoretical principles of Universal Declaration of Human Rights, including relying on secularist worldview and humanist ideas. امروزه بی‌اخلاقی‌ها و رواج ظلم و فساد از یک طرف و نارضایتی مردمان جهان مبنی بر عدم دستیابی به حقوق طبیعیشان از طرف دیگر، نشانگر وجود مشکلات خاصی در مبانی حقوق بشر و رو به ضعف رفتنِ ارزش‌های اخلاقی است. این مقاله در پی آن است تا روند رو به ضعف ارزش‌های اخلاقی و حقوق‌بشر در مقام عمل را در فرآیند جهانی شدن و خصوصاً تجارت جهانی که امروزه بر تمام فرهنگ‌ها تأثیرات خاص خود را گذاشته است، نشان دهد. بدین منظور در بخش اوّل ضمن بررسی مفهوم حقوق بشر، به جایگاه ارزش‌های اخلاقی در مبانی فکری اعلامیه حقوق بشر پرداخته است. در بخش دوّم ضمن تبیین تجارت جهانی، روند رو به ضعف ارزش‌های اخلاقی را در اقتصاد سرمایه‌داری نشان داده و در نهایت در بخش سوّم ضمن تبیین مبانی حقوق بشر، علل تضعیف ارزش‌های اخلاقی و رعایت نشدن حقوق بشر در مقام عمل را در مشکل‌دار بودن مبانی نظری اعلامیه جهانی حقوق بشر از جمله تکیه بر جهان‌بینی سکولاریستی و اندیشه‌های اومانیستی دانسته است.
