The Purdue University Human Right Institute announces Friday-Saturday conference on the theoretical groundings of human rights (and hence human of rights law). The conference will take place on the Indiana-Purdue Fort Wayne campus on April 18-19, 2014. Invited speakers include Professor of Philosophy James Sterba (University of Notre Dame)in moral philosophy, Distinguished Political Science Professor Mark Gibney (University of North Carolina--Ashville), and David Marshall, Senior Human Rights Officer in the New York Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights.
We will work together to help determine whether a reasonable and universally acceptable case (a rationally motivated general consensus)for supporting UN international human rights law, and for respecting individual human rights in daily life, may be possible or not.
