How far have we come putting into practice what was declared in the
Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which this year marks its
70th anniversary? How can the Church respond today to the new
challenges threatening these rights, whether relativism,
fundamentalism, and persecution or new types of poverty and
oppression? And with whom can the Church engage on these issues?
With states, religious leaders, international institutions,
cultural institutions, or first and foremost with global civil
society? In addition, what are the roots of fundamental rights, and
what response can there be to the danger of a multiplication of
rights that can paradoxically threaten concepts on the rule of law
and human dignity? These are the fundamental questions addressed
and debated by the experts whose essays appear in this book.
Fundamental Rights and Conflicts among Rights is divided into four
parts: Genesis and Meaning of the Idea of Religious Liberty,
Laicité and Natural Law, Birth and Transformation of the Culture
of Liberty and Human Rights, and the Multiplication of Rights and
the Risk of Destruction of the Idea of Right. Throughout the
volume, prestigious international experts analyze these issues.
Among them are Giuseppe Dalla Torre (Libera Universit Maria
SS. Assunta), Jean Louis Ska (Pontificio Istituto Biblico), Robert
P. George (Princeton University), Marta Cartabia (vice president of
the Italian Constitutional Court), Carlos Ignacio Massini (Mendoza,
Argentina), Barbara Zehnpfennig (Universität Passau), Mary Ann
Glendon (Harvard University), Joseph H. Weiler (New York
University), and Roberto Baratta (Macerata, Italia). The volume
also contains an essay by Cardinal Pietro Parolin, secretary of
state, on “The Church's Interlocutors in the Debate and in the
Affirmation of Human Rights.”
