This session will cover the adoption and goals of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and offer a summary of the civil, political, economic, social, and cultural rights that it proclaims. It will also address the Declaration’s subsequent development and codification through dozens of multilateral treaties, as well as the means of its implementation, both domestically and through a range of international institutions. Its influence over the past seven decades will be examined, as will the contemporary challenges that human rights face from recalcitrant nationalist governments and, occasionally, overly zealous advocates. Finally, it will suggest the likely role that human rights may play in the next two decades.
