The last decade has witnessed an increased criticism against the
human rights paradigm for its obsession with the 'culture of claims
and rights.' According to the critics, this culture has led to an
obsession with the rights of individuals at the expense of due
attention to groups and to communities worldwide, resulting in the
neglect of responsibilities and duties. It is also argued that
there should be a shift from the Western emphasis on the rights for
individuals to more attention to the responsibilities of
individuals and collectivities as present in other cultures of the
world. Several documents have been drafted to this effect. These
discussions, and the ensuing documents, are far from only
theoretical or abstract. They bear consequences in everyday life as
evidenced in a number of areas, such as globalization, terrorism,
multiculturalism, etc. This book examines this important human
rights debate.
