The value of international human rights during the last half of the twentieth century is undoubted. Nevertheless, power exercised in the name of human rights can be misused or abused. As human rights institutions matured, human rights advocates and their critics worried about whether quests to vindicate supposedly universal human rights might sometimes impose western, first-world norms on cultures that did not want them. The papers collected in this volume address that question.
