Abstract:
In the modern global contest, the debate on human rights has emerged as a crucial issue requiring in-depth analysis and considerable, meaningful and radical engagement. In a rapidly changing world faced with complex challenges, the need to strengthen this commitment to defend and promote human rights is more pressing than ever. The increase in economic inequalities, the proliferation of armed conflicts, the environmental and health crises, the challenges posed by technological advancements raise critical questions about respecting human rights in every corner of the globe. Our reflection on human rights does not only concern the protection of individual rights but also the construction of fairer, more inclusive and resilient societies. In this paper, based on a text written by Ettore Gelpi on the occasion of the 50th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the author considers the indispensable role a certain type of ‘problem posing’ education has in the struggle for realizing these rights throughout the world. This contribution presents a theoretical reflection and, at the same time, proposes a developmental line which may hold concrete consequences for a pedagogical practice focused on social justice.
