Prof. de la Vega Comments on the U.S. and Human Rights

USF's resident human rights expert Professor Connie de la Vega is also one of the voices of IntLawGrrls, where she has recently blogged on Time for US to reaffirm commitment to principles enshrined 60 years ago in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. In this post she summarizes the history and work of the Human Rights Commission and the new Human Rights Council, and calls upon the U.S. to "return to its leadership role in the protection of human rights."
