The HRUG regular seminar on \u201cWhat are Human Rights concerned with – the Universal Human Being, the Social\/Class Question or Wokeism?\u201d was successfully held on December 1, 2023. The seminar was chaired by Joe Finnerty (social policy analyst, School of Applied Social Studies, University College Cork, Republic of Ireland) . Prof. Peter Herrmann and Associate Prof. Li Juan, who are researchers at CSU Human Rights Center, and Prof. Mehmet Okyayuz (professor of political science at Middle East Technical University, Turkey) shared and reported in the discussion. And doctoral students of Middle East Technical University, Ankara University and Central South University Human Rights Center participated in this discussion. The seminar mainly focused on the relationship between the universal human rights and social\/class issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Professor Mehmet Okyayuz firstly discussed the historical evolution of human rights, the impacts of social class relations and political development on human rights and their importance. According to Professor Mehmet Okyayuz, the understanding of the universality of human rights requires to establish connections among politics, law and society, and also identifies the socially determined content. In the western societies, the politico-legal abstraction of human rights expressions is gradually dominated by the special interests expressed by minorities. So it is suggested to adopt a more comprehensive and effective approach to dealing with issues about human rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Associate Professor Li Juan emphasized that the particularity of human rights was not in conflict with the universality of human rights. Due to the diversity among and within human groups, the rights of particular groups should be protected. She argued that the capacities and values of individuals were realized through social cooperation. Given that human rights are affected by social interactions and relationships, there are differences in the development of capacities between people as individuals and people as a group, which ultimately require diverse protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Professor Peter Herrmann discussed the link between the concept of human rights and social relationships and changes. He believed that with the development of neo-colonial strategies, a paradoxical situation has been established. On the one hand, definitions of human rights issues emerge within a society and among different societies. On the other hand, some movements claim that \u201cold problems has been solved\u201d and focus the human rights discourse on unspecified or overspecified issues. He emphasized the importance of considering the particular social context in which rights were recognized and realized, and pointed out the challenges faced in advocating for the rights of individuals in marginalized groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the comment part, Professor Joe Finnerty questioned the three presenters on \u201cWhere is the development of human rights discourse going?\u201d Professor Mehmet Okyayuz expressed concerns about the limitations of current articulation of human rights and its disconnections from the reality. Associate Professor Li Juan argued that minorities may still face challenges in exercising specific rights, such as the significant challenges faced by the elderly as a vulnerable group in the digital age. Professor Peter Herrmann thought that when we talk about human rights, we are talking about human beings as social beings. Therefore, human rights need to be understood in the social development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
