Weidenfeld Debate: Shift of Power and Human Rights
First in the series
19 February 2010
Magdalen College, Oxford
The first Weidenfeld Debate in 2010 will attempt to address the following questions: How do shifts of power and shifts in standards of power in the international community affect Human Rights? Do such shifts require corresponding changes in international legal and humanitarian structures to protect Human Rights? How, if at all, will these shifts influence Human Rights across the globe? Is there a need to change structures of power to protect Human Rights?
Speakers and Panellists:
Sir Nigel Rodley, Professor of Law and Chair of the Human Rights Centre at the University of Essex
Dr. William Callahan, Professor of International Politics and the Research Director of the Chinese Centre at the University of Manchester
Dr. Alice Edwards, Lecturer in International Refugee and Human Rights Law at the University of Oxford
Moderator: Gwyn Prins, President of the LSE Mackinder Programme for the Study of Long Wave Events
