Human rights should protect the dignity and well-being of all people. But in today’s deeply divided world, some argue that cultural differences and economic inequality undermine their universality. In Human Rights in a Divided World (2024), Rev. David Hollenbach, S.J., offers a comprehensive and cohesive analysis of the challenges to human rights, suggesting that today’s global realities call for important developments rooted in Catholic ethics. Human Rights in a Divided World offers a clear path forward for the church in its engagement with politics and guidance for students of human rights as well as those working to advance them.This book launch event will feature the book's author, Berkley Center Senior Fellow Rev. David Hollenbach, S.J. He will be joined by Cathleen Kaveny, Darald and Juliet Libby Professor at Boston College; A. E. Orobator, dean of the Jesuit School of Theology at Santa Clara University; and Michael Perry, Robert W. Woodruff Professor of Law Emeritus at Emory University. Copies of Human Rights in a Divided World (2024) will be for sale at the event, and a reception will follow. 

This event is co-sponsored by the Berkley Center for Religion, Peace, and World Affairs and the Initiative on Catholic Social Thought and Public Life at Georgetown University and the Catholic Peacebuilding Network.
