This booklet contains the texts of the Theo van Boven Lectures held
in 2014 and 2015. They deal with the subject of defending human
dignity by looking at the different roles the human rights
defender, the scholar and the human rights NGO can play in
achieving this goal. Hina Jilani looks at the opportunities and
limitations of human rights defenders in their fight to stand up
for the protection of human dignity. Jean Allain discusses the role
of the legal scholar in studying contemporary forms of slavery.
Finally Aidan McQuade denounces practices of slavery from the
perspective of a human rights NGO. The Theo van Boven Lecture
Series are organised annually by the Maastricht Centre for Human
Rights as a tribute to Theo van Boven, emeritus Professor of
International Law at Maastricht University, and formerly Director
of the UN Division of Human Rights, member of the Committee on the
Elimination of Racial Discrimination and UN Special Rapporteur on
Torture. The themes covered by the lectures reflect the wide range
of interests of Theo van Boven. This publication is interesting for
human rights practitioners, scholars and students.
