Does the West Understand Human Rights?

Friday, Oct 6, 7pm
Speaker: Vinoth Ramachandra (a leader in an international Christian ministry (IFES) and an advocate for social justice in his native country of Sri Lanka as well as around the world)
Is “human rights” language misused in the West? This talk will highlight three myths: (1) Human rights have been championed by the West and resisted by the non-West; (2) The concept of human rights is a product of post-Enlightenment individualism and secularism; (3) Human rights can be asserted without any grounding metaphysical framework or narrative.
Hosted by 5CIV and the Claremont Christian Scholars
Founders Room (in CMC's Bauer Center North)
