   2025 CBC Massey Lectures: Alex Neve on renewing human rights   
   in a fractured world   
      
   When we overcome doubt by making human rights real, we can   
   prevail, says Canadian lawyer   
      
   This is not the finest hour for human rights, says 2025 CBC   
   Massey Lecturer Alex Neve. But it still could be.   
      
   The Universal Declaration of Human Rights was created 1948,   
   after the untold carnage and horror of the Second World War.   
   It was supposed to prevent what we're seeing right now: the   
   rise of hate and mass atrocities. A crumbling world order.   
   Human rights applied selectively, or withdrawn on the whims   
   of political leaders.   
      
   In five lectures delivered across Canada, Neve explores where   
   the promise of universal human rights comes from, where   
   we've fallen short, and what we can do now to renew the   
   promise of universality.   
      
   A five minutes introduction, and the five hour-long lectures are   
   available at https://tinyurl.com/2fv8ya7z .   
      
   The lectures are:   
   Lecture 1: The beacon of universal human rights   
   Lecture 2: Human rights lessons from history   
   Lecture 3: Human rights are not earned   
   Lecture 4: Human rights made real   
   Lecture 5: Renewing Canada’s commitment to universal human rights
