After Human Rights?
Speakers: Costas Douzinas, Conor Gearty and Adam Weiss
Leah Bassel and Engin F. Isin (Co-chairs)
In the wake of the 60th anniversary of Universal Declaration of Human Rights, this public discussion panel seeks to explore a central and increasing tension between, on the one hand, the human rights tradition which dissociates rights from membership in a bounded community by making rights universal and, on the other hand, the modern tradition of citizenship that links rights and political participation to a nation-state. Conventional understandings and practices of the relationship between rights, recognition, territory and membership are increasingly blurred and it has become imperative to generate vocabularies, conceptual tools and programmes for action that are equal to the challenge of understanding and addressing the exclusion and marginalisation of rightless others in a globalising world. The panelists will examine, challenge and rethink the tension between ‘particular, nationally-bounded’ citizenship and ‘natural’ human rights drawing on the insights of theoretical and empirical scholarship and of the politics of human rights
