In a globalized world, an interdisciplinary dialogue on ethics and
human rights is possible, necessary and fruitful for jurisprudence.
Human rights can be understood as formalized ethics, and ethics can
thus serve as a foundation for human rights. They are the framework
for a communication of rights, and this communication is the
context in which wrongs can be transformed into rights. Ethics do
however also shape "existing" (recognized) human rights. Human
rights are "ethics in action." The enforcement of human rights,
especially in international criminal law, as well as the
implementation structures bring the ideas and principles of rights
to life in a globalized world. Thus it is advisable to take an
interdisciplinary approach to participation rights, social rights
and human rights in general, in private and in public life. This
work contains articles that were presented at an international and
interdisciplinary conference on "Ethics and Human Rights in a
Globalized World" in Jerusalem in the fall of 2008. Young
researchers from Israel and Germany, who work in the fields of law,
philosophy, political science and theology, deal with the
foundation of human rights, the conflict between varying human
rights and effective implementation structures. The part played by
the World Bank in implementing human rights is highlighted, as is
the significance of local cultural backgrounds. Other articles deal
with the correlation of international criminal law and human
rights. The book also contains an article by Aharon Barak, former
Chief Justice of the Israel Supreme Court.
