Human Rights

This series is fully booked. You can only register for a stand by list.
Human Rights are constantly on the agenda. We keep hoping things will change for the better, but atrocities are daily news. Uprisings and big political changes can lead to better human rights conditions, but also to war and crimes against humanity. This series of lectures will explore the significance of human rights in a globalizing world and demonstrate how human rights are increasingly becoming an instrument for challenging the negative side-effects of globalisation.
