Definition(s)

  • With the founding of the United Nations, the incorporation of human rights into international law received a crucial impetus. After a frightful period in which an ideology of dehumanization of whole peoples led to a world war with subsequent mass destruction and genocide, a general feeling of “never again” had emerged.
