Much recent scholarship about human rights has severed this link between the Holocaust, the Universal Declaration, and contemporary human rights activism in favor of seeing the 1970s as the era of genesis. Morsink forcefully presents his case that the Universal Declaration was indeed a meaningful though underappreciated document for the human rights movement and that the declaration and its significance cannot be divorced from the Holocaust. He reexamines this linkage through the working papers of the commission that drafted the declaration as well as other primary sources. This work seeks to reset scholarly understandings of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the foundations of the contemporary human rights movement. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 315-323) and index. 505 0 $a Introduction : the Universal Declaration as postcard -- The historic moment -- New historians and the declaration -- Moyn's dismissal of the connection -- The 1940s moment of human rights -- The philosophic moment -- The moral engine of the system -- Portable, not territorial. 610 20 $a United Nations. $b General Assembly. $t Universal Declaration of Human Rights. 611 07 $a Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00958866 630 07 $a Universal Declaration of Human Rights (United Nations.
