Abstract
The paper will discuss the impact of Immanuel Kant’s Peace model in the 21st century and how this hypothetical model has affected the Human Rights Jurisprudence in the 21st Century. Kant’s model has baffled theorists all over the globe. But it seems that the Doctrine of Responsibility to protect has found the solution to put Kant’s ideas in motion. This doctrine is applicable for the political inclusion of Fail / Weak States who are constant violators of Human Rights. The paper argues that Responsibility to Protect when read with the medieval Christian doctrine of Vindicae Contra Tyrannos and Subsidiarity, provides a practical application of Kant’s model .This will improve the Human Rights situation in the Fail/ Weak States.
