Description:
Adjunct Professor of Law, Mohamed ‘Arafa, discusses his new book “The New Human Rights Agenda: Loud Voices from the Global Periphery.” The work examines the need to pay attention to the development of fundamental rights in different countries, particularly in the Middle Eastern region and Muslim countries, along with Latin American countries, which suffered and in many cases still suffer through dictatorships and authoritarianism.
