What does human dignity mean and what role should it play in guiding the mission of international institutions? Join us for a discussion of the new book Human Dignity and the Future of Global Institutions with editors and MSFS faculty members Anthony Clark Arend and Mark P. Lagon, chapter contributors, and an additional thought leader on human dignity. Books will be available for purchase and a reception will follow. About the book: In recent decades, global institutions have proliferated—from intergovernmental organizations to hybrid partnerships. The specific missions of these institutions are varied, but is there a common animating principle to inform their goals? Presented as an integrated, thematic analysis that transcends individual contributions, Human Dignity and the Future of Global Institutions argues that the concept of human dignity—which incorporates and transcends human rights—can serve as this principle. |
