This volume presents the first global history of human rights
politics in the age of decolonization. The conflict between
independence movements and colonial powers shaped the global human
rights order that emerged after the Second World War. It was also
critical to the genesis of contemporary human rights organizations
and humanitarian movements. Anti-colonial forces mobilized human
rights and other rights language in their campaigns for
self-determination. In response, European empires harnessed the new
international politics of human rights for their own ends, claiming
that their rule, with its promise of 'development,' was the
authentic vehicle for realizing them. Ranging from the postwar
partitions and the wars of independence to Indigenous rights
activism and post-colonial memory, this volume offers new insights
into the history and legacies of human rights, self-determination,
and empire to the present day.
