This blurb from the Foreign Policy Association:
As the Universal Declaration of Human Rights celebrates its 60th anniversary, events in the Balkans, Sudan and Myanmar continue to challenge its idealism, while raising new questions about the prospects for humanitarian interventions. Do human rights transcend national borders and customs? Is the definition of human rights changing?Paul Hanson is Professor of History at Butler University, and says: "I regularly teach courses in French history, modern European history, and modern Chinese history. My research is mainly on the Fre nch Revolution, and at present I am working on a book to be entitled French Revolutionaries Divided: The Federalist Revolt of 1793."
