	Beyond Human Rights is ~~tbe~~ second in an ongoing series of English translations of Alain de Benoist’s works to be published by Arktos. Alain de Benoist begins Beyond Human Rights with an examination of ~~tbe~~ origins of ~~tbe~~ concept of ‘human rights’ in European Antiquity, in which rights were defined in terms of ~~tbe~~ individual’s relationship to his community, and were understood as being exclusive to that community alone. This changed with ~~tbe~~ coming of Christianity to Europe, after which rights were redefined as a universal concept derived from ~~tbe~~ idea of each individual as ~~tbe~~ possessor of a soul that is transcendent and independent of any social identity. This culminated in ~~tbe~~ Enlightenment belief in ‘natural rights’, which found its practical expression in ~~tbe~~ doctrines emerging from ~~tbe~~ American and French revolutions, in which all individuals were said to possess rights simply by virtue of ~~tbe~~ fact of their being human. In turn, laws issued by ~~tbe~~ State came to be viewed as negative impositions upon ~~tbe~~ naturally independent individual. De Benoist deconstructs this idea and shows how ~~tbe~~ myth of a ‘natural man’ who possesses rights independent of his community is indefensible, and how this conception of rights has, in modern times, led to their use as a weapon by stronger nations to bludgeon those weaker states which do not conform to ~~tbe~~ Western liberal-democratic form of rights, as we have recently seen in action in ~~tbe~~ former Yugoslavia, Iraq and Libya.
