Human rights have no borders

Description

Ms. Marida Carmona, member of the President's Peace Commission, presents Dr. Stephen Calogero, professor of philosophy at the University of Texas in San Antonio, and Mr. Ernani Falcone, president of the San Antonio branch of Amnesty International. While discussing the Catholic Church's involvement in human rights, Professor Calogero asserts that having rights implies responsibilities toward others; in the realm of business, this translates into the duty to provide a living wage to employees, to protect rather than destroy jobs, businesses, and communities, and to practice stewardship, not indiscriminate exploitation, of natural resources. Mr. Falcone traces the development of human rights from political and civil rights to inclusion of economic, social, and cultural rights, and eventually to peace and environmental rights. He discusses the work of Amnesty International.
