The study has 4 aims; firstly to illustrate the role that the idea and debate around norms have in developing international law, and secondly to address the philosophical concerns around identifying such norms. It moves on to explore whether a legal\/practical instantiation of the universal can be done without taking a particular position\/perspective. And finally, it turns to the impact the universal has on the development of international human rights law. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePublic international law, human rights and legal philosophy scholars will welcome this original theoretical-philosophical perspective on an enduring debate in the field of international law.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCarl Emilio Lewis\u003c\/b\u003e is Researcher in International Law at the T.M.C.
