Abstract
In recent decades, most societies around the world have undergone a profound transformation, in the form of globalization, involving a dramatic increase in international mobility and transnational interactions, and in the ability to rapidly access information through new and innovative technologies. The impact of the globalization process on former totalitarian states has been enormous from a socio-legal perspective considering that total state control over domestic issues and the rule of law can now be challenged by people and organizations across the globe, and national borders have in a way disappeared given the increasing interaction between people. In the current climate, domestic human rights transgressions gain immediate attention worldwide through the internet or other media in ways that were not possible a few decades ago (Santos, 2002, p. 196).
