Abstract

Chapter 7

From the opening paragraphs, "The claim that I aim to present and defend in this Special Report is that the thin intellectual foundations of human rights law require us to turn to more elemental aspects of human experience in order to test and evaluate the persuasiveness of human rights’ claim to correspond to universal human needs and desires."
