Neither the morality of human rights nor its relation to the law of
human rights is well understood. In this book, Michael Perry
addresses three large issues: o There is undeniably a religious
ground - indeed, more than one religious ground - for the morality
of human rights. But is there a nonreligious (secular) ground for
the morality of human rights? o What is the relation between the
morality of human rights and the law of human rights? Perry here
addresses the controversial issues of capital punishment, abortion,
and same-sex unions. o What is the proper role of courts, in a
liberal democracy, in protecting-and therefore in
interpreting-constitutionally entrenched human rights? In
considering this question, special attention is paid to the Supreme
Court and how it should rule on hot button issues such as capital
punishment and abortion. Toward a Theory of Human Rights makes a
significant contribution both to human rights studies and to
constitutional theory.
