Human Rights Politics

In 1948, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was proclaimed. It was a
milestone for the protection of human rights worldwide. And yet, more than
75 years later the world faces wars, terrorist attacks, disinformation, climate change,
and populist threats to democracies. As a result, human rights are ignored and
restricted—again and again.
We must stand up to this and defend the achievements of liberal democracy and
the rule of law. They are the only political and legal frameworks that ensure the
realization of human rights. But how can this urgently needed defense of human
rights succeed? How can human rights be implemented and promoted around the
globe?
