Universal Human Rights: Moral Order in a Divided World (Philosophy and the Global Context) - Softcover
Universal Human Rights brings new clarity to the important and highly contested concept of universal human rights. This collection of essays explores the foundations of universal human rights in four sections devoted to their nature, application, enforcement, and limits, concluding that shared rights help to constitute a universal human community, which supports local customs and separate state sovereignty. The eleven contributors to this volume demonstrate from their very different perspectives how human rights can help to bring moral order to an otherwise divided world.

Review:
Mortimer N. S. Sellers is Regents Professor of the University System of Maryland and director of the Center for International & Comparative Law.
The eleven chapters are organized around four themes: 1) the nature and justification of human rights; 2) cultural diversity; 3) serious abuses such as genocide; and 4) governmental initiatives to counter terrorism and major aggression. Most of the essays cover familiar human rights scholarship, offering few new insights and arguments about the quest for human dignity. The essays are well written and accessible to the general reader. Recommended. CHOICE, M. Amstutz, Wheaton College
