INTL 3119 - Human Rights and Conflict
Introduces the concept of human rights, which have become the dominant normative discourse in global politics. One of the most important ideas of our age is the notion that all people have inalienable rights. Yet, human rights is also a field where hugely controversial debates play out. What are human rights? Who should have rights? Which rights are most important? Are rights universal? What counts as a violation? Should states promote human rights even against their own narrow self-interests? Are some cultures fundamentally opposed to individual rights? What is the link between human rights, conflict, and peace? This course considers those debates, as well as others.
