Unfortunately, the proliferation of new rights, linking rights to other issues such as international crimes or the activities of business, and attempting to address every social problem from a human rights perspective risk undermining their credibility. Rescuing Human Rights calls for understanding 'human rights' as international human rights law and maintaining the distinctions between binding legal obligations on governments and broader issues of ethics, politics, and social change. Resolving complex social problems requires more than simplistic appeals to rights, and adopting a 'radically moderate' approach that recognizes both the potential and the limits of international human rights law, offers the best hope of preserving the principle that we all have rights, simply because we are human.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 228mmItem Length: 152mmItem Width: 14mmItem Weight: 370gGenre: Law & PoliticsRelease Year: 2019 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
