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 …

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"

Which is where the campaigns for equal marriage provide so much insight right? Keen to learn from that ref social care & independent living.

Indeed. The "our rights" plus enumerating practical things (taxes, insurance) flipping to love, family & commitment was a huge shift. So too "gay marriage" to "marriage equality."
