Anthropology and the Democratisation of Human Rights
Anthropology has been opposed to human rights on the grounds both of cultural relativism and scientific positivism. As an academic discipline, however, it is a cultural practice with internal norms that require it to respect the peoples that it studies. These norms have enabled anthropology to go beyond relativism and positivism and effect a reconciliation with human rights. This reconciliation has strengthened the political and international dim…

The article examines the moral grounds for rights for children and concludes by suggesting some institutional changes including…

The Imprisonment of Maintenance Defaulters
Over 3,000 men are imprisoned each year for maintenance default. At any one time there are on average about 300 men in prison for this reason.
