Dr. Siddharth Mallavarappu to lecture on 'Human Rights and Global Governance'

On August 12th, at the invitation of the German Development Institute, Bonn, Dr. Mallavarapu will be addressing young professionals participating in a Global Governance School . . .

The participants are drawn primarily from the newly emerging economies of Asia, Africa and Latin America. Dr. Maalavarapu's presentation shall focus on various sources of skepticism articulated by the Global South with regard to mainstream international human rights thinking. While engaging the idea of human rights, the presentation shall also audit key human rights actors, institutions and prevalent practices. The objective of the presentation is to help stimulate further reflection about some of the limits of the contemporary rights discourse.
