Bringing Human Rights Back: Embracing Human Rights as a Mechanism
for Addressing Gaps in United States Law examines well-documented
policy failures in the United States and makes an argument for how
a human rights approach to these issues can lead to meaningful
change. Specifically, the authors articulate a human rights
approach to online harassment of women, child poverty, and access
to safe drinking water. These issue areas all involve human rights
concerns and gross shortcomings within current law, policy, and
practice in the United States. The authors analyze recent events,
such as Gamergate, contention over social programs such as TANF and
CHIP, and the water crises in Flint and Detroit to demonstrate the
ways in which current laws do not fully respect, protect, and
fulfill human rights. A human rights approach decenters assigning
blame or liability, and instead emphasizes human dignity, redress,
and remedy for the rights violations. Daniel Tagliarina and Corinne
Tagliarina not only highlight the need for change in these areas,
but outline a practical way forward rooted in human rights
scholarship and practice.
