Human Rights, Faith, and Culture
Association for Bahá'í Studies Australia, 2001As a contribution to this process of reflection, the Association for Baha’i Studies Australia hosted a 50th anniversary conference on the theme “Human Rights, Faith and Culture”. It is a theme particularly pertinent to our period of history in which the inter-relationship between belief, culture and human rights is at issue in both positive and negative ways. The papers presented at the conference provide much food for thought on these questions.Articles in this book that reference the Bahá'í Faith have their own URLs; articles in this book that don't mention the Faith are merely linked as PDFs, below.
Book also available as one single PDF.
