Description
This remarkable collection of letters reveals the debate over universal human rights. It brings together prominent mid-twentieth-century thinkers and leaders who engaged with this question.
The letters, which were part of UNESCO's 1947-48 global survey, provide a unique insight into the intellectual struggles and ideological doubts surrounding human rights. Mark Goodale's meticulous archival research has curated these responses, including those that were omitted or politely declined.
By examining these letters, readers can gain a deeper understanding of how the debate over universal human rights continues to shape contemporary debates in human rights scholarship and practice.
