Post-Colonial Legality and Human Rights with Abdullahi An-Naim (Episode 31)

April 08, 2025 • Rutgers CSRR

0:00 | 33:04

Autonomy and self-determination for all individuals cannot be realized and sustained unless true within every person. Enslavement and dehumanization remain true of citizens of imperial nations so long as they remain true for colonized peoples. This week’s episode explores the contradictions between stated commitments to human rights and actions in Western and post-colonial societies. Host Sahar Aziz addresses these issues with Emory University School of Law Professor Abdullahi Ahmed An-Na'im.
