I think that danger of universal human rights is one of intepretation. Just as any abstract term of "right" or "freedom" is wide open to be swayed according to ones culture, therein lies the danger in setting high morally fuzzy standards with no hardcore legislation. I didnt get a chance to read the article on cultural relativism, but i do agree in what another blogger said about healthcare,education, ect to be fundamental and inalienable human rights, however,the problem comes up the backing of infrastructure and institution to make the transition to nice declarations of solidarity to legislation that punishes a countries government if they dont grant those rights
