description: A selection of 27 papers from the 19th World Congress on the Philosophy of Law and Social Philosophy, in New York City during early summer 1999, represent a cross-section of the multinational participation and widely diverse philosophical and legal interests and specialties at the gathering. They take up such issues as the grounds for the universality of human rights; the rights of women, minorities, cultural groups, and indigenous peoples; the scope and limits of international protection of human rights; and the relation between the rights of individuals and the rights of people collectively to protect the environment and other aspects of the common heritage.
