Summary: Has there always been an inalienable ^'right to haverights^' as part of the human condition, as Hannah Arendtfamously argued? The contributions to this volume examinehow human rights came to define the bounds of universalmorality in the course of the political crises andconflicts of the twentieth century. Although human rightsare often viewed as a self-evident outcome of this history,the essays collected here make clear that human rights area relatively recent invention that emerged in contingentand contradictory ways. Focusing on specific instances oftheir assertion or violation during the past century, thisvolume analyzes the place of human rights in variousarenas of global politics, providing an alternativeframework for understanding the political and legaldilemmas that these conflicts presented. In doing so, thisvolume captures the state of the art in a field thathistorians have only recently begun to explore.
