It can be argued that the competing ideologies of cosmopolitism and communitarianism both have an effect on the political realm and human rights. Cosmopolitanism is an ideology that all human beings belong to a single community with an established and accepted morality. Cosmopolitans state that there should be an dominant universal morality standard to which all states or communities should adhere to, simply because they are human. The notion all humans by virtue is what should bind them to a shared morality. Cosmopolitism is extremely state inclusive as it hopes to create a universally adopted moral code for the world. The cosmopolitanism approach significantly contributes to the overall objective of human rights; which is to form universal and inherent rights for mankind. Cosmopolitanism influence in the political realm can be seen as the creation of international law and organizations.
