Abstract
In this paper I discuss Claudio Corradetti’s recent fascinating book on Relativism and Human Rights, A Theory of Pluralist Universalism (Springer 2022, 2nd ed.) by focusing on the global reach of human rights and its implications for law. The paper discusses, inter alia, what relativism conceivably means in the context of EU and international human rights. Moreover, the paper examines human rights and justice in the context of universality. The paper concludes by briefly looking at peace and war theory and argue for its salience for understanding the framework of global human rights protection.
