A Changing Landscape
The traditional model of human rights protection is failing in the face of a rapidly changing world, struggling to exert influence in ever-more complex and entangled systems, and responding to new threats to human rights from accelerating technology innovations, climate change, conflict, the pandemic and global economic consequences. And the human rights ecosystem is changing from within: feminist and postcolonial critiques challenge traditional interpretations of human rights and the systems for their protection, affected communities are demanding representation in defining and claiming their rights, dynamic and leaderless movements are forming around issues not organisations.
