The Legitimacy of Western Views of Human Rights: The Barnes Symposium at the University of South Carolina

I will speaking tomorrow at the Barnes Symposium held at the University of South Carolina Law School. The symposium as a whole will discuss the legitimacy of western views of human rights and will have participants from all over the world, both in person and via video conference (a list of speakers is found here). I myself will focus on my little piece of this conversation – the use of international human rights treaties to interpret the U.S. Constitution. If we have any (friendly) readers in the USC community, I would love to meet you during my visit tomorrow.
