ondon>  <http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b07756bn> 'Are Human Rights really
universal?' was the title of the first part of a BBC Radio 4 series
broadcast last night. The programme looked at "Talking to legal
philosophers, historians, sceptics and advocates, Helena Kennedy QC explores
the philosophical and historical foundations of human rights. Are they
really universal or is this just moral posturing on a grand scale, a legal
fiction, a philosophical sleight of hand? Human rights are routinely ignored
by states around the world. They may aspire to be universal in their
application but, instead, they are         universally broken". The
Programme can be viewed on the iPlayer on this link:
