Abstract or Introduction
At the very moment culture can at least not totally be left out as a factor with regard to human rights demands. However, cultures are not static, they are constantly evolving and challenged – also from within (Huysmans 2004, p. 323). Step by step it should be possible to leave culture behind. Last but not least, the strength of a universal human rights idea depends on a broad popular support all over the world – "then the shortcomings of Western leaders and the opposition of authoritarian rulers elsewhere will be of little long-run significance" (Brown 2008, p. 519).
