What are human rights? Where did they originate and when? Who retains them, and when are we obliged to defend them? This course examines the historical development of human rights to the present day, focusing on, but not confined to, the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. More than a history of origins, it explores the relationships between human rights and other crucial themes in the history of the modern era.
