        Since the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in Paris by the United Nations General Assembly in 1948, human rights have always drawn attention of the thinking minds towards their violation worldwide and consequent human efforts to sustain and preserve them. Though it has been a specific field of interest for the students of law, history, politics, journalism, and social service; but as it happens, even the students of literature cannot keep themselves detached from such a vast and humanitarian issue. Michael Ondaatje, an expatriate Sri Lankan writer, who himself has been, to some extent, the victim and first hand witness of the Sri Lankan civil war and human rights violation in the island. In his novel Anil‟s Ghost, he gives a realistic representation of Sri Lanka. The present paper tries to present the kind of treatment which Ondaatje gives to aestheticize this so much universally talked about ethical-legal issue. The paper will discuss how human rights in Sri Lanka have different meaning and status for the West and the Sri Lankans/Asians, and how they are being presented by Ondaatje in his novel.
