This paper endeavours to analyse the conflictual relation that the concepts of ‘Universalism’ and ‘Particularism’ share and how the debate informs our understanding of human rights. To study the concept further, the paper takes the case of the current COVID-19 pandemic to explore the tensions and possible assimilations between universalistic and particularistic frameworks using empirical evidence to explore the intersectional impact on human rights in current times.
