Summary
Finally, Chapter 6 draws on the book’s analysis to make conclusions and recommendations designed to improve the effectiveness of domestic human rights implementation. These recommendations regarding social institutions are directed primarily towards states parties to international human rights treaties, as well as to the UN treaty bodies. It urges a shift in the international discourse on culture and human rights, a more creative approach to implementation measures, and greater scope for non-state actors. The chapter situates this analysis in the present context of globalisation, the rise of privatisation and the changing role of the state. It also looks ahead to projections of increasing religiosity and to Islam becoming the world’s largest religion. The chapter explores the broader application of the book’s main contention and its thematic connection to other scholarship on human rights narratives and challenges to state-centricity.
