Global human rights and the idea of 'one humanity' became politically possible with the end of the Cold War. This unit explores the production of the human rights system as a top-down process of legalisation, institutionalisation, social policy development and intervention and the bottom-up process of victim claim-making, collective mobilisation and transnational advocacy.
