Universal Human Rights: The Challenge of Common Ethics in a Pluralistic World

• In Event: Ethical Theory Meets (Un)Ethical Practice

Short Description

To illustrate the challenges of upholding universal ethical values in practice, this case problematizes a limitation to cultural expression: the bans of religious attire, such as face veils, for public sector workers in France. This case discussion will raise important ethical considerations for practice, while presenting potential limitations of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as an operative expression of universal ethical values.
