As citizens of an increasingly globalised world, students should be aware of the presence, role and impact of human rights; how they apply to them within their immediate surroundings and in a broader global context. But moreover, that despite their name, human rights are not as universal as the title would suggest. There remains great debate over this issue and numerous problems surrounding its place in a vastly diverse world. I aim to introduce the history behind the emergence of the concept of human rights, highlight to them the dilemmas involved with the implementation and policing of them in a culturally diverse global environment and in doing so, make clear the complexity of this concept.
