Abstract“Human rights” is a global topic. As soon as one agrees
that a right is a human right, one cannot restrict it to
certain groups. People have human rights by virtue of their humanity,
not by virtue of their nationality, their status, their gender, their
ethnicity, and so forth. This is why the topic is one of the most
exciting, but also one of the most contentious discussed in the
humanities and the social sciences. It is a topic that suggests
numerous questions in three main areas: concept, content, and
enforcement.
