In this powerful book, William F. Felice argues that a new range of
human rights duties for individuals, nation-states, and global
institutions has emerged in our modern interconnected era. He
investigates the compelling ideas of ethical interdependence and
new global human rights duties in four case studies: mass
incarceration in the United States, LGBT rights in Africa, women's
rights in Saudi Arabia, and environmental rights in China. Felice
argues that in all four cases a "human rights threshold" has been
surpassed, and urgent action is needed to address unacceptable
levels of human suffering. Beginning with a primer on how the
international community through the United Nations has codified
international human rights law, Felice explores the conflicts
between rights, problems of compliance, and the difficulties that
emerge when cultural and religious rights are privileged over the
rights of individuals and groups. He shows that a robust normative
framework of global governance and global citizenship is central to
the actualization of human rights protection for all.
