"U.S. Exceptionalism Regarding Human Rights & Humanitarian Norms"


presented by

Barbara A. 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.
