Also, the way it treats the travails of R2P, the ICC etc as a synecdoche for the human rights movement at large, and concludes that general re-entrenchment is required, is frustrating. Why should e.g. disability rights activists pull back, just because the ICC is in rocky waters?https://twitter.com/colmocinneide/status/986760929038790658 …

Populists on the left and right seem better able to make appeals to these struggles than international human rights NGOs, because the former focus on people, where the latter focus on human rights as 'an object' (as
@anatosaurus points out) & assume support for it to be a given.
Or, perhaps, the solution lies in verbalizing the divide and its origins. See new research on talking about race and class:https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/apr/14/democrats-race-class-divide-2018-midterms …

Hi - yes I saw that fascinating piece. The gap between ‘civil rights’ (in uk read ‘equalities’) & ‘human rights’ is common in lots of Europe & the US. Thinking of your research it seems to represent the ‘us’/‘it’ gap?

Civil rights in US is definitely much more on the side of "us" than "it." But, sadly, it's also a bit "them"
