Conference: Challenging Human Rights Disenchantment 50 years on from the ICCPR and ICESCR

On January 27, 2017, the Sussex Centre for Human Rights Research at the University of Sussex will host a conference on "Challenging Human Rights Disenchantment 50 years on from the ICCPR and ICESCR." The program is here. Here's the idea:

This international and interdisciplinary academic conference will involve a series of sessions linked together by the common theme of considering different forms (political, legal, social) of disenchantment with the state of human rights 50 years after the adoption of the International Covenants on Civil and Political Rights and on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights; and whether and how any such disillusionment is being, or can be, challenged.
