Its purpose, scope and rationale are reflected in the three-part structure of the manuscript. Part I has a broad introductory historical, theoretical and legal character. Part II submits that an Ethics of Human Rights is best understood as an Ethics of Recognition of human worth, dignity and rights. Moreover, it is argued that human worth consists in the perfectibility of the human species, rooted in its semiotic nature, to be accomplished through the perfecting of human beings, for which the right to education is key. In Part III, the main legal and political outcomes of the Human Rights Revolution are described and answers to the most lasting and common criticisms of human rights are provided. To conclude, the human stature of the Big Five drafters of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is profiled and the priority that should be recognized to human rights education is highlighted. Some appendices supplement the manuscript. While making a case for the high value and liberating power of the idea and ideal of human rights, objections, controversies and uncertainties are not at all overlooked and emerging issues are explored. The diversity of content of this volume meets many needs of the typical syllabus for a human rights course. 606 $aPrivate international law 606 $aConflict of laws 606 $aEthics 606 $aInternational education  606 $aComparative education 606 $aPrivate International Law, International & Foreign Law, Comparative Law $3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R14002 606 $aEthics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E14000 606 $aInternational and Comparative Education$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O13000 615 0$aPrivate international law. 615 0$aConflict of laws. 615 0$aEthics. 615 0$aInternational education . 615 0$aComparative education. 615 14$aPrivate International Law, International & Foreign Law, Comparative Law . 615 24$aEthics. 615 24$aInternational and Comparative Education. 676 $a170 676 $a340 676 $a340.2 676 $a340.9 700 $aReis Monteiro$b A$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01227590 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484307103321 996 $aEthics of Human Rights$92852568 997 $aUNINA
