Summary

Filip Balunović: The misery of human rights: the right, the pandemic and science as a new field of political struggle

The tension between human rights and their capitalist framework makes it impossible to apply the principles of the General Declaration to all people. This left room for the cynical ideological instrumentalization of rights, which was once used by the liberal center, but now, in the context of the pandemic, the right would also start to do so. With numerous relevant examples, the author shows us the mechanisms through which the ideology of human rights functions as one of the means of political manipulation. In this way, it opens a space for discussion about the conditions in which "human right" and its fight against epidemiological measures and vaccination became possible. In this key, the processes that accompanied the climate crisis and the profiling of science as a new line of political division, as well as those that were part of the migrant crisis, which the right used to stimulate general and political growth, are illuminated. distrust. Along with the polemic about the connection of these crises with conspiracy theories and "lesser evil" policies, the author convincingly advocates the thesis about the pandemic as the confluence of all these processes.
