This book argues that ultimately human rights can be actualized, in
two senses. By answering important challenges to them, the
real-world relevance of human rights can be brought out; and people
worldwide can be motivated as needed for realizing human rights.
Taking a perspective from moral and political philosophy, the book
focuses on two challenges to human rights that have until now
received little attention, but that need to be addressed if human
rights are to remain plausible as a global ideal. Firstly, the
challenge of global inequality: how, if at all, can one be
sincerely committed to human rights in a structurally greatly
unequal world that produces widespread inequalities of human rights
protection? Secondly, the challenge of future people: how to
adequately include future people in human rights, and how to set
adequate priorities between the present and the future, especially
in times of climate change? The book also asks whether people
worldwide can be motivated to do what it takes to realize human
rights. Furthermore, it considers the common and prominent
challenges of relativism and of the political abuse of human
rights. This book will be of key interest to scholars and students
of human rights, political philosophy, and more broadly political
theory, philosophy and the wider social sciences. The Open Access
