In this important collection of writings, leading legal and
political thinkers address a wide array of issues that confront
societies undergoing a transition to democratic rule. Bridging the
gap between theory and practice in international human rights law
and policy, the contributors continue discussions that were begun
with the late Argentine philosopher-lawyer Carlos Santiago Nino,
then extend those conversations in new directions inspired by their
own and Nino's work.
The book focuses on some of the key questions that confront the
international human rights movement today. What is the moral
justification for the concept and content of universal human
rights? What is the relationship among nation-building,
constitutionalism, and democracy? What are the political
implications for a conception of universal human rights? What is
the relationship between moral principles and political practice?
How should a society confront what Kant called radical evil? And
how does a successor regime justly and practically hold a prior
regime accountable for gross violations of human rights?
