Human Rights: Advancing the Frontier of Emancipation essay by Kathryn Sikkink:

Amidst bleak prognostications about the future, the human rights movement offers a beacon of hope for securing a livable world. The movement{\textquoteright}s universality, supranationalism, and expanding emancipatory potential serve as inspiration and guide for the larger project of global transformation. The sweeping vision embodied in the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights has experienced constant renewal and steadfast legitimacy in the tumultuous postwar world. It has been a foundation for the pursuit of supranational governance and an antidote to the notion that the ends justify the means. The human rights movement, despite its imperfections, has a key role to play in the transformational change in human values crucial to building a just, flourishing future.\
