People(s)-Centered Human Rights and the Black Radical Tradition
==========
This article discusses the framework of People(s)-Centered Human Rights (PCHR) and the Black Radical Tradition. It reflects on the history of struggle that produced the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) and the ideological polarization around the concept of human rights. The article argues that the liberal human rights framework, which prioritizes civil and political rights over economic, social, and cultural rights, has been weaponized by neoliberals to justify imperialist interventions. In contrast, the PCHR framework asserts that human rights must be de-colonized and created from the bottom-up through social struggle. The article emphasizes the importance of defeating the white supremacist colonial/capitalist patriarchy and achieving social revolution for the realization of authentic freedom and human dignity. The author, Ajamu Baraka, is the national organizer of the Black Alliance for Peace and a former candidate for vice president on the Green Party ticket.
