A new moral, ethical, and legal framework is needed for
international human rights law. Never in human history has there
been such an elaborate international system for human rights, yet
from massive disasters, such as the Darfur genocide, to everyday
tragedies, such as female genital mutilation, human rights abuses
continue at an alarming rate. As the world population increases and
global trade brings new wealth as well as new problems,
international law can and should respond better to those who live
in fear of violence, neglect, or harm.
Modern critiques global human rights fall into three categories:
sovereignty, culture, and civil society. These are not new
problems, but have long been debated as part of the legal
philosophical tradition. Taking lessons from tradition and
recasting them in contemporary light, Helen Stacy proposes new
approaches to fill the gaps in current approaches: relational
sovereignty, reciprocal adjudication, and regional human rights.
She forcefully argues that law and courts must play a vital role in
forging a better human rights vision in the future.
