- W1589751811 abstract "Although the UNESCO Universal Declaration on Cultural Diversity declares that the defense of diversity is an imperative, it also states that no one may invoke diversity to infringe upon human rights guaranteed by international law, nor to limit their scope. The Declaration's fulsome praise for good diversity is therefore hedged by a prior commitment to upholding universal human rights. What is diverse is precious, it seems to be saying, but what is universal is even more precious.This essay attempts to unpack the meaning and significance of the distinction between these points of view for the discourse and practice of international human rights. It aspires to move the discussion of diversity in the sphere of human rights to a level that is deeper than that which is allowed for by the usual (and ultimately sterile) verbal opposition between universalism and cultural relativity. The goal is to clarify as much as possible the relevant points of agreement and disagreement about the nature of the inherently limited ethical imperative to tolerate and protect diversity. The essay does this by reflecting on the dialectically linked concepts of unity and diversity and by investigating what it really means to say that different groups of people have different beliefs about what is morally and legally permissible or mandatory. The international law norms that protect human rights are, like all normative systems, expressed in general (i.e. abstract) terms. The essay contends that if one wants to discover whether differently situated people agree or disagree about the significance of these norms the right place to look is not at the words expressing the norms themselves, but at how those words are actually applied to real, concrete cases, each one of which retains the inherent potential to disrupt if not explode the unity of the normative field." @default.
