About Human Rights Dialogue
Human Rights Dialogue promotes a global discussion of
human rights ideas and practices by presenting firsthand
accounts of human rights issues as they arise within specific
real-life contexts. In so doing, it helps to clarify the significant and ongoing evolution that is taking
place within the human rights movement to make the
human rights framework more relevant and effective in
addressing the social, economic, and political challenges
of the twenty-first century.
The entire publication is online, or you may purchase individual print
copies.
Series One (1993–1998)examines all sides of the Asian values debate—the argument that Asian
cultural values imply different human rights standards
and priorities from those in the West.
Series Two(2000–2005)addresses the problem of the
“human rights box”—the constraints that have enabled
the human rights framework to gain currency among
elites while limiting its advance among the most vulnerable.
Specifically, the essays aim to locate the barriers to
greater public legitimacy of human rights and to demonstrate
how those barriers can be overcome.
