Human Wrongs and the Tragedy of Victimhood: Response to "Human Rights and the Politics of Victimhood"
Ethics and International Affairs 16 (2):109-117 (2002)
Abstract
The problem with the politics of victimhood, as conducted by revolutionaries and counterrevolutionaries engaged in ideological conflict, is that it creates a morally arbitrary hierarchy of victims that can then be used to justify the worst moral transgressions against the "other."Author's Profile
