Book excerpt: The post-war structure of human rights instruments is the basis for much of the West's rhetoric, policy and worldview. Its universality is axiomatic. But is it as universal as we think? On the other hand, is the cultural relativist argument a cloak for human rights abuse or a statement of obvious principle?
