Human rights comprise an integral part of modern international law. Governments around the world have ratified human rights treaties and incorporated human rights law into their legal systems, yet the persistence of extrajudicial killings, religious persecution, and political repression illustrates that such rights are routinely and blatantly violated.

What will it take? Featuring Professors Mary Ellen O'Connell and Eric A. Posner.
