Human Rights and Ethics / Derechos Humanos Etica Vol. 3 : Proceeding of the 22nd IVR World Congress Granada 2005

This volume, by Nomos Publishers (Germany), contains conference papers presented at the 22nd World Congress of the IVR (Internationale Vereinigung fr Rechts und Sozialphilosophie / International Association for Philosophy of Law and Social Philosophy) held at the University of Granada. The book is primarily an English language text, with a couple of chapters each in Spanish language text. With concepts on universality, cultural pluralism, perspectives on various religions, and technological advances, the book reflects questions of human rights in the context of globalization. The essays responding to this subject are rich and varied. They focus on legal acceptance, as well as consequences of human rights with regard to social rights, and the necessary protection of the environment connected to those rights. The book approaches the subject from the view of legal recognition and the consideration of human rights as moral rights.
