The University of Chicago Law School Faculty PodcastJohn Tasioulas, "Minimum Core Obligations: Human Rights in the Here and Now"Professor Tasioulas discusses the notion of the ‘minimum core obligations’ associated with economic, social and cultural human rights, such as the rights to education and health.

According to figures released this week it seems that the police are increasingly turning a blind eye to these offences and when it comes to enforcing the new law banning smoking in cars where there are children, the police have said it's not their job. If the purpose of the law is to protect public health and safety, and to set moral boundaries, can it ever be morally acceptable...2015-10-2242 min
The Why FactorWhy do we have Human Rights?The UN proclaimed its Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948, after the horrors of World War Two. But they are far from universally upheld. Yecenia Armenta Graciano’s right not to be tortured was grievously violated in Mexico, when she was beaten, suffocated and sexually assaulted to sign a confession.

So what are they, how are they evolving, and what if one person’s hu...2015-09-0417 min
