Bridging the gap between theory and practice in international human rights law and policy, the contributors continue discussions that were begun with the late Argentine philosopher-lawyer Carlos Santiago Nino, then extend those conversations in new directions inspired by their own and Nino's work. The book focuses on some of the key questions that confront the international human rights movement today. What is the moral justification for the concept and content of universal human rights? What is the relationship among nation-building, constitutionalism, and democracy? What are the political implications for a conception of universal human rights? What is the relationship between moral principles and political practice? How should a society confront what Kant called radical evil? And how does a successor regime justly and practically hold a prior regime accountable for gross violations of human rights?Deliberative democracy & human rightsDemocracyDemocracyUnited StatesHuman rightsHuman rightsUnited StatesRepresentative government and representationElectronic books.Democracy.DemocracyHuman rights.Human rightsRepresentative government and representation.323Koh Harold, authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1047722Koh Harold Hongju1954-240790Slye Ronald1047723MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910451795503321Deliberative democracy and human rights2475517UNINA
