In these times of multiple crises - of war, ecological catastrophe and resurgent decolonial contestations of the existing order - it often feels like the traditional tools of global governance have lost their relevance and power. In this year’s Annual Human Rights Day Talk, Siba N'Zatioula Grovogui invites us to revisit the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR).
Rather than merely a Western, liberal text, he offers the UDHR as a document with a plurality of authors and sensibilities; a re-reading that could help us (re-)imagine much needed alternatives to the current global order and its various crises.
