Human Rights – Switzerland's Responsibility

Description

Human rights are considered universal, yet they are under pressure worldwide. The new book Human Rights – Switzerland's Responsibility asks what this means for Switzerland. Authors from science and practice show how human rights shape our everyday life: from global supply chains to the use of algorithms, asylum policy, and the relationship between democracy and international law. The contributions invite us to question assumptions and think about a fairer society. A book for everyone who wants to understand why human rights are not an abstract idea but a concrete societal responsibility. Featuring Tarek Naguib (lawyer specializing in human rights and anti-discrimination), Nino Janashvili (social anthropologist focusing on memory culture and post-migrant transformation), and other guests.
