  • The 70th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of HumanRights was a good reason to reflect. Nowadays, there is certain ambiguity as to whether human rights are a moral, political or legal concept. What are the specific consequences of enforcing rights in these particular classifications. United Nations' bodies defend the universality, indivisibility and interdependence of human rights, but there is no unanimous agreement with these characteristics. On 23-24 May 2019, a human rights symposium, entitled “Current issues on human rights”, was held at Carlos III University, Getafe Campus. 30 scholars with diverse backgrounds and areas of expertise came from 13 countries, spread across 4 continents.
