While this may have, in sense, been a normative revolution, in another sense it was just one more in a long list of human rights responsibilities states have taken on over the last 65 years as the modern human rights regime has developed. Less attention has been focused on the growing number of responsibilities accruing to non-state actors. These talks are from the second joint international conference organised by the American Political Science Association Human Rights Section, Council of the International Political Science Association Human Rights Research Committee, and the Executive Council of the International Studies Association Human Rights Section, held on 18-19 June 2012 in Glasgow.
