The Universal Declaration of Human Rights at Seventy: Rejuvenate or Retire
This lecture marks the seventieth anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights ( UDHR ) with an analysis of the Declaration's contemporary relevance. It considers whether, in today's turbulent and fractured political environment in which human rights abuses remain widespread, the UDHR still has a role to play. A case is made that the UDHR was, in fact, written precisely for a moment like now. The lecture starts by considering the impo…
A Magna Carta for all Humanity: Homing in on Human Rights

Human rights: Above Politics or a Creature of Politics
For the last forty years or more, this country has appeared to be in the grip of one kind of national panic or another. In the 1960s and 1970s it was a moral panic that took hold of ‘middle England’. Self-styled hippies and lefties were charged by an older generation with threatening the fabric of society. In the 1980s it was threats to national security that appeared to strike fear in the heart of the nation, from IRA terrorists to the spectre o…
