Though human rights protection is premised on the peaceful respect for human dignity and diversity, conflict and tension feature prominently in this Subject . ICAS most interested in the conflict engendered when international human rights norms clash with domestic rules of exception, or when national security and personal integrity collide. ICAS also intrigued by the competitions that ensue between pro-compliance and pro-violation constituencies. These tensions pervade real life, but they remain surprisingly under theorized.
ICAS assumption is that a more systematic understanding of these conflict dynamics is needed before we can comprehend the timing of human rights reforms, the persistence of state violations, and, more broadly, the conditions under which human rights pressures will most likely succeed. All of these issues raise crucial policy implications, vitally relevant in a post year -2000 world in which national security ideas so often trump human rights norms.
