Human rights and communication are deeply connected: human rights
need communication to expose violations and to offer platforms for
dialogue, while communication needs human rights to provide
standards for free speech and confidentiality. Together, they
confront the reality of today’s social and international order in
which justice and understanding often seem unattainable. In this
book, Cees J. Hamelink guides the reader through the historical
evolution of communication and human rights. In this original
framework, he discusses topics such as the right to communicate and
freedom of expression, as well as major challenges posed by the
environmental crisis and digital technologies. With authority, he
passionately argues that ‘communicative justice’ is the
ultimate goal of applying the international human rights regime to
different forms of communication. This goal can only be achieved if
we manage to move from the prevailing ‘thin’ liberal conception
of human rights to a ‘thick’ cosmopolitan conception of them.
Written by one of the world’s leading scholars in this area, this
wide-ranging book will be of interest to students of media and
communication, human rights scholars, as well as practitioners,
activists and anyone interested in applying the notion of justice
to the basis of human existence: communication.
