Frey, Human Rights Program in the College of Liberal Arts at the University of Minnesota James Dorsey, Fredrikson & Byron, P.A. Thursday, April 17, 12:00-1:00 P.M. at Fredrikson & Byron, P.A., U.S. Bank Plaza, 200 South Sixth Street, Suite 4000, Minneapolis Description of the Lecture The presentation will address the two faces of U.S. involvement in developing human rights norms: exceptional leadership and creating exceptions for its own actions. The speakers will give a brief overview of the intellectual and moral leadership of the US in the creation of core human rights standards, including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. They will then consider the post-cold war movement away from any norms that might limit the US's conduct at home or abroad, using two notable examples -- the prohibition against torture and the creation of the International Criminal Court.
