Rethinking Human Rights

This issue of NACLA Report is not another exhaustive diagnosis of the failings of Latin America’s limited democracies, though those failings are amply documented here. This Report has a different aim: to examine how human rights activists throughout the region are facing this new situation on the ground. We have asked highly respected rights activists from several Latin American countries to discuss the challenges facing the human rights movement today, as well as the diverse strategies they have adopted to try to meet them.
