- W1882574430 abstract "According to one of the most famous and influential formulations by Michael Ignatieff, human rights can nowadays be considered to have acquired the status of a lingua franca.2 Every discourse on global and domestic justice is shaped and formulated by means of the semantics of human rights: from the realm of its theoretical implications, to that of its political implementation, to its legal codifications. Yet what captures the attention is the fact that this state of affairs, however indubitable on the side of its facticity, notably lacks a comparable character of indisputability on the side of its justificatory framework. In effect, while at its origin the human rights discourse could be said to have its foundation in the domain of a unifying natural law – either theologically or secularly conceived – and, likewise, during the age of revolutions, though abdicating its thick metaphysical grounding, could still defend its universal claim by relying on the very character of humanity (of human rights), no commensurable strategy of foundation could be assumed to persist into the current era. Today’s societies are simply more secularized and fragmented than they were two centuries ago. They explicitly reject a unitary and cohesive vision of morality. They cannot impose a single ethical standard of life upon their members. In simple words: these societies no longer build a universe, but a multiverse.3 Therefore, drawing on human rights as a (potentially) universal device for, say, establishing a minimal unitary cohesion, solving situations of conflict or promoting cooperation, can either be considered as an entirely unjustified endeavor, or at least one which leads to the formulation of an inevitable paradox, in that the very social contexts that spurn substantive forms of ethics are nevertheless called to adhere to a new kind of all-encompassing criteria of normativity. All this gives rise then to the overall impression, expressed from several perspectives,4 that the discourse of human rights ultimately represents none other than a new and odd Sittlichkeit which, because of its weak or nebulous foundation, turns out to be both profoundly illegitimate in the universal-reaching ethical claim it raises, and irreducibly violent when it comes to the forms of its implementation (and imposition) upon subjects and institutions. Notoriously, several contemporary legal discourses attempt to face such a predicament by systematically bypassing the ethical dimension of human rights and exclusively focusing on their legal aspects. Pragmatic as it may seem, such a legalistic shift, far from solving the most problematic issue at stake in the idea of human rights, ends up simply deferring it. For no unilateral approach – in our opinion – be it juridical or ethical, enables one to genuinely grasp the very thrust of human rights as such. Human rights are neither a purely ethical matter nor an exclusively legal concern, but" @default.
