The idea of ‘universal crimes' began in response to piracy, creating the idea that all countries had an authority and a responsibility to prosecute pirates. How has this evolved to create a system of universal protection and a global ‘responsibility to protect’ that remains with us today?
Universal human rights and world history go hand and hand. In this workshop, we’ll talk about pirates, slavery, wars, and the creation of universal rights. Do you know the protections you already have guaranteed by these laws? Where did they come from? What are these charters missing? Working in small groups, we will explore how certain rights became ‘universal’, and what this really means. You will have a chance to make your own charter of rights and as a group we will try to agree on new protections all global citizens should have.
