Abstract
The end of the Cold War and the resulting search for new paradigms with which to understand the world presents the international human rights movement with both an opportunity and a challenge. The opportunity is created by the demise of the global bipolar world view that manipulated and distorted many human rights concerns. The corresponding challenge is the creation of a new world order in which human rights are respected by all societies.
