Abstract :
Cultural diversity, multinationalism and human rights are important issues in the field of human rights, fundamental, public and international law. This area can be divided into two discourses: universalism and human rights relativism. and on this basis, it is possible to un-derstand from which point of view governments and human society interpret and implement human rights, which, by the nature of each approach, will have different results. What are the challenges and opportunities of cultural diversity and human rights? On the one hand, cultural diversity can pose a threat (lack of equitable distribution of power, wealth, ethnic, cultural, or religious discrimination, leading to internal conflicts and, consequently, to chal-lenges in the international community). On the other hand, it is an opportunity for countries dealing with cultural diversity and multinationalism. (Development, political, economic, social and cultural prosperity through attracting tourists, the cohesive role and creating a spirit of unity in critical situations and the protection of borders, security, independence and territorial integrity). The aim is to formulate comprehensive and complete laws while res-pecting the rights of minorities and different cultures while preserving their rights in the dis-tribution of power, position and position in the government. Comprehensive political, eco-nomic, cultural and social development, peace and internal security, and, consequently, in-ternational peace and security must also be ensured. The necessity and importance of re-spect for cultural diversity, nationality and ethnicities within the government of states, and distributive justice are among the rules of international law. Ethnicity has always been an important component in social and political studies and research arising from racial differ-ences. Ethnic inequality and ethnic diversity is not in itself a threat, and if it is considered normal in a society and is considered the constituent basis of that society, it can also provide an opportunity for social prosperity. National security and political participation in com- munities and its relationship with ethnicities are considered very important. The research method in this article is descriptive-analytical and the data collection method is library re-sources. and the research findings show that cultural diversity and multinationalism have positive and negative consequences on human rights. That has a direct impact on maintain-ing security, independence, unity and integrity, and all-round growth and development of the country, or disintegration and ethnic and religious tensions and lack of growth and de-velopment, and even leads to separatism and autonomy. This requires a state and a military in the form of cultural federalism of a multinational nation-state or a multi-ethnic nation-state in order to be able to meet the demands of all groups and ethnicities.
