Historical Change And Human Rights: Oxford Amnesty Lectures 1994 (The Oxford Amnesty Lectures 1994)

Originally presented at an annual Oxford lecture series organized by supporters of Amnesty International, the seven lectures provide historical perspective on the contemporary discussion of human rights. The essays deal with "the tension between natural law and history" i.e., the degree to which the universalist vision of human rights is a historically-constructed phenomenon.
