Abstract

The article discusses the problem articulated in the title, but limiting the realm of discussion to three fields: law made by man, the Divine law, and human rights. First the author made an effort at answering the questions: Does the natural law exist?, and if yes,  what exactly is it? The findings of the article are as follows: 1) human law is one of the forms of communication among rational humans, 2) every law must measure up to universal moral standards, 3) sense of justice, right and honest law are the fundaments of every man-made law.
