To mark the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and to examine its global impact, the Harvard Law School/Facing History and Ourselves program will convene international scholars from education, law, and human rights, as well as students, teachers, and community leaders, to consider Hope, Critique, and Possibility: Universal Rights in Societies of Difference. The conference is being held on November 20, 2008 in partnership with the Harvard University Committee on Human Rights Studies. Through thoughtfully-facilitated panel discussions, exchanges with the audience, and individual reflections, this day-long conference will examine the influence that the Universal Declaration of Human Rights holds today, and identify some of the challenges to fulfilling its founders' intentions when it was adopted in 1948.
