As evidenced by NATO's air campaign against Yugoslavia, the ongoing effort to create a standing international criminal court, and the attempt by a Spanish magistrate to extradite former Chilean dictator Gen. Augusto Pinochet, human rights have come to increasingly dominate world politics. The idea that the universal defense of human rights should prevail over frontiers and centuries-old legal precedents is gaining momentum. Please join us as two experts take divergent views on what globalizing justice means for the international system.
