By answering important challenges to them, the real-world relevance of human rights can be brought out; and people worldwide can be motivated as needed for realizing human rights. Taking a perspective from moral and political philosophy, the book focuses on two challenges to human rights that have until now received little attention, but that need to be addressed if human rights are to remain plausible as a global ideal. Firstly, the challenge of global inequality: how, if at all, can one be sincerely committed to human rights in a structurally greatly unequal world that produces widespread inequalities of human rights protection? Secondly, the challenge of future people: how to adequately include future people in human rights, and how to set adequate priorities between the present and the future, especially in times of climate change? The book also asks whether people worldwide can be motivated to do what it takes to realize human rights. Furthermore, it considers the common and prominent challenges of relativism and of the political abuse of human rights. This book will be of key interest to scholars and students of human rights, political philosophy, and more broadly political theory, philosophy and the wider social sciences"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aHuman rights$xMoral and ethical aspects 606 $aDistributive justice 606 $aEnvironmental justice 606 $aPopulation$xSocial aspects 606 $aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / Political Freedom & Security / Human Rights$2bisacsh 606 $aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / Political Process / Political Advocacy$2bisacsh 606 $aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / History & Theory$2bisacsh 615 0$aHuman rights$xMoral and ethical aspects. 615 0$aDistributive justice. 615 0$aEnvironmental justice. 615 0$aPopulation$xSocial aspects. 615 7$aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / Political Freedom & Security / Human Rights 615 7$aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / Political Process / Political Advocacy 615 7$aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / History & Theory 676 $a323 676 $a658.4 686 $aPOL010000$aPOL035010$aPOL043000$2bisacsh 700 $aPhilips$b Joseph Pieter Mathijs$f1974-$0798743 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910404158303321 996 $aActualizing human rights$91949390 997 $aUNINA
