Does Conditionality in International Relations Serve to Protect Human Rights? Beyond Law. no. 15-16 de 1996
In June of 1994, over fifty human rights activists gathered in Cartagena, Colombia, for the purpose of updating their perception of what it means to work in the defense of human rights in the nineties. This meeting, which was called "Toward a Reconceptualization of Human Rights", represented an attempt to integrate the new demands being placed on human rights work, as social actors that have previously been marginalized take a larger role in voicing their demands and insisting that their causes be recognized and supported. Most of us now have an idea about who those voices belong to: women, the urban poor, landless peasants, indigenous people, gays and lesbians, immigrants and refugees, racial and ethnic groups that have been subject to discrimination within their countries of origin or residence, and indeed, the Earth itself, at a point in time when the threat to the environment is putting the future of life on this planet in peril.
