Abstract
"As I’m writing this, Christians are brutally
murdering Muslims in the Central
African Republic; people in Syria are being
bombed, starved, and tortured; and homosexuals
still face the death penalty in Iran
as well as long prison sentences in countries
like Uganda and Nigeria and persecution
by thugs in many countries. These atrocities
and many other disturbing phenomena
are often called “human rights violations.”
What gives them this status? That is a question
about which there has been a surprising
amount of disagreement among political
philosophers."
