Global Conversations, from Scotland

75 years of the Human Rights Convention - in conflict and in practice


Listen Later

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights was signed in Paris 75 years ago.

Professor Helen Duffy, Professor of International Human Rights and Humanitarian Law at the Grotius Centre of Leiden University and Director of Human Rights in Practice, joins Professor Christian Tams.

They discuss the Declaration's origins and progress, its universality and efficacy, and its application as the bedrock for binding human rights - not solely in situations of armed conflict.
