Human Rights, the Challenges of the Last Decade and New Regulations

Abstract

When we consider the future of human rights and whether they will be considered more or less important in the years to come, many potential challenges come to mind: climate change, nationalism, inequality, growing authoritarianism and, last but not least, crises. Finally, many of these different threats are interlinked in complex ways - for example, inequality has stimulated nationalism, and climate change can increase inequality.
