Glacier1st ed. 2013.New York :Palgrave Macmillan US :Imprint: Palgrave Macmillan,2013.1 online resource (205 p.)Description based upon print version of record.1-137-33960-8 1-306-17879-7 Includes bibliographical references (pages 161-180) and index.The multiple actors present at the origin of the Convention Against Torture's -- Internal politics behind the Moroccan state's disinterest in a definition for torture -- The use of cultural relativism for the purpose of delegitimizing fundamental rights -- Colonialism as a policy of resistance to human rights law -- Human rights law as a tool for international solidarity -- Torture persists despite the constitutional reforms of 2011.Are universal rights bound to colonialism? Are they culturally imperialistic? By juxtaposing Morocco's practice of torture with its discourse of cultural relativism, this study links popular resistance to universal rights to a deliberate politics that delegitimizes those very same rights, requiring a new, more inclusive system of universalism.Political scienceHuman rightsPolitical theoryPolitics and warWorld politicsInternational relationsPolitical Sciencehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911000Human Rightshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R19020Political Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911010Military and Defence Studieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912080Political Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911080International Relationshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912000Political science.Human rights.Political theory.Politics and war.World politics.International relations.Political Science.Human Rights.Political Theory.Military and Defence Studies.Political History.International Relations.341.480964Glacier Oauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1583942Martin Valérie1989-CaOLUBOOK9910790747203321Universal Rights, Systemic Violations, and Cultural Relativism in Morocco3867450UNINA
