Universal Human Rights brings new clarity to the important and
highly contested concept universal human rights. The Charter of the
United Nations commits nearly all nations of the world to promote,
to realize and take action to achieve human rights and fundamental
freedoms for all, yet this formal consensus masks an underlying
confusion about the philosophical basis and practical implications
of rights in a world made up of radically different national
communities. This collection of essays explores the foundations of
universal human rights in four sections devoted to their nature,
application, enforcement and limits, concluding that shared rights
help to constitute a universal human community, which supports
local customs and separate state sovereignty. Rights protect the
benefits of cultural diversity, while recognizing the universal
dignity that every human life deserves. The eleven contributors to
this volume demonstrate from their very different perspectives how
human rights can help to bring moral order to an otherwise divided
world.
