What are the sources and meaning of human rights? What challenges do we face in their meaningful realization today? These age-old questions are perhaps ones that every generation must wrestle with, but we can learn a great deal from those who have gone before us, while also taking ownership of the challenges facing human rights today.

December 10, 2023 marked the 75th anniversary of the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. In commemoration of this milestone, the Christian Legal Fellowship's 2023 Symposium on Religion, Law & Human Rights was devoted to discussing the UDHR's protections and animating principles (including those which may have been overlooked over time), and how they might enhance our understanding of human rights today. This special collection offers Canadian and international perspectives on these themes.
