PS 370 International Human Rights


Since the end of the Cold War, one of the major challenges facing the international community has been the interrelated problems of defining human rights and protecting those rights. The rhetoric of humanitarian intentions, unfortunately, often has served as a cover for the actual neglect of human rights. This course examines the nature and evolution of human rights, the problems entailed in humanitarian action, and the potential for building a viable international human rights regime.
