わる
means
pertaining to ~; concerning ~; related to ~
に関わる can be used when describing the relationship between the noun that comes directly before に関わる and the noun that comes directly after. The noun that comes before に関わる qualifies the noun that comes after.
In the example below 人権に関わる qualifies 大切な問題, so that it becomes 'an important issue pertaining to human rights'.
プライバシーの
ほご
保護
は、
じんけん
人権

かか
関
わる
たいせつ
大切
な
もんだい
問題
です。
The protection of privacy is an important issue bearing on human rights.
There is often an association with 'influence' of 'impact' when に関わる is used this way. The next sentence is also and example of this.
がん
癌
は
いのち
命

びょうき
病気
だから、
はっけん
発見
したら

ちりょう
治療
しなければならない
。

The sentence below shares a similar meaning. This example demonstrates how に関わる can be used without placing a noun directly after.

の
しょくせいかつ
食生活
は
けんこう
健康
にかかわるので
かいぜん
改善
してください
。
