The international doctrine of human rights is one of the most ambitious parts
of the settlement of World War II. Since then, the language of human rights has
become the common language of social criticism in global political life.This book
is a theoretical examination of the central idea of that language, the idea of a human
right. In contrast to more conventional philosophical studies, the author takes a
practical approach, looking at the history and political practice of human rights
for guidance in understanding the central idea. The author presents a model of
human rights as matters of international concern, whose violation by governments
can justify international protective and restorative action ranging from intervention
to assistance. He proposes a schema for justifying human rights and applies it to
several controversial cases
—
rights against poverty, rights to democracy, and the
human rights of women. Throughout, the book attends to some main reasons why
people are sceptical about human rights, including the fear that human rights will
be used by strong powers to advance their national interests. The book concludes
by observing that contemporary human rights practice is vulnerable to several
pathologies and argues the need for international collaboration to avoid them.
