  • MA-Thesis in International Affairs Setting Sights on Human Rights
    MA-thesis in International Affairs Setting Sights on Human Rights How China Is Undermining International Human Rights and Responses from the Liberal World Friðrik Sigurbjörn Friðriksson October 2018 Setting Sights on Human Rights How China Is Undermining International Human Rights and Responses from the Liberal World Friðrik Sigurbjörn Friðriksson MA-thesis in International Affairs Advisor: Marc Lanteigne Faculty of Political Science School of Social Science University of Iceland October 2018 Setting Sights on Human Rights This thesis counts as the final project for a Master of Arts degree in International Affairs from the University of Iceland This text may not be reproduced without the author‘s consent © Friðrik Sigurbjörn Friðriksson, 2018 kt. 210986-2359 Reykjavik, Iceland, 2018 Abstract The rise of China in the international sphere has in recent years occupied increasingly greater space in geopolitical debate. Musings on the effect that China is having on the liberal international order, which has remained nearly unaltered since the end of World War II, are highly conspicuous. The aim of this thesis is to analyze the visible impact of China on one of the principal components of this system, i.e. international human rights. The basic concepts of human rights studies, universalism on the one hand, and cultural relativism on the other hand, are employed in order to examine how Communist China has interpreted human rights in international discourse, in opposition to the general interpretation of the majority of liberal states and leading international organizations, such as the United Nations. Furthermore, the manner in which China has been exerting itself to change this system according to its interpretation of whether human rights are universal or relative and aligned with the whimsy of the reigning governments of sovereign states is looked into.

  • Supporting Democratic Reform
    Mission Statement Founded in 1941 by Eleanor Roosevelt and others, Freedom House is the oldest non-profit, non- governmental organization in the United States dedicated to promoting and defending democracy and freedom worldwide. Freedom House supports the global expansion of freedom through its advocacy activities, monitoring and in depth research on the state of freedom, and direct support of democratic reformers throughout the world. Advocating Democracy and Human Rights: For over six decades, Freedom House has played an important role in identifying the key challenges to the global expansion of democracy, human rights and freedom. Freedom House is committed to advocating a vigorous U.S. engagement in international affairs that promotes human rights and freedom around the world. Monitoring Freedom: Despite significant recent gains for freedom, hundreds of millions of people around the world continue to endure dictatorship, repression, and the denial of basic rights. To shed light on the obstacles to liberty, Freedom House issues studies, surveys, and reports on the condition of global freedom. Our research is meant to illuminate the nature of democracy, identify its adversaries, and point the way for policies that strengthen and expand democratic freedoms. Freedom House projects are designed to support the framework of rights and freedoms guaranteed in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Supporting Democratic Change: The attainment of freedom ultimately depends on the actions of courageous men and women who are committed to the transformation of their societies. But history has repeatedly demonstrated that outside support can play a critical role in the struggle for democratic rights. Freedom House is actively engaged in these struggles, both in countries where dictatorship holds sway and in those societies that are in transition from autocracy to democracy.
