The safeguarding of human rights remains highly problematic,
despite the proliferation of human rights instruments and the many
actions taken by a variety of actors, such as governmental and
non-governmental organisations, (individual) states and the
international community over the past decades. Human rights
violations do still occur on a large scale and injustice remains
rampant. Central to this problem appears to be that social,
economic, cultural and political structures in societies provide
denialist defence mechanisms. Such deeply embedded denialism causes
and/or facilitates human rights violations, because the true nature
of the problems involved remains fully or partly unacknowledged and
as a result appropriate action remains absent. In order to
safeguard the effectuation of human rights it is thus pertinent to
acknowledge and address this problem of denialism and develop
strategies to move beyond it. To address the above-mentioned
problem, an international conference was organised on the theme of
Denialism and Human Rights by the Maastricht Centre for Human
Rights in 2015, which brought together scholars, practitioners and
students from various disciplines and fields to unearth and address
denialism in the context of their own particular area of
research.The present volume contains a unique collection of papers
that were presented during the conference. The content of the
papers ranges from more general reflections on the theme of
denialism and human rights to more specific areas of research that
are relevant in terms of denialism such as genocide, children's
rights, the role of (inter)national organisations, penology, and
social, economic and cultural rights.
