Abstract
This essay develops Baxi’s critique of abstract universality in human rights. He emphasizes fragmented experiences of suffering and argues for rights frameworks attentive to diverse contexts, inequalities, and power relations shaping whose suffering is recognized and whose remains marginalized. Published by Transnational Publishers. New York Ardsley, pg 101–56.
