Appiah Argues That Claims About Human Rights Should Be "Kept

Appiah argues that claims about human rights should be "kept within bounds" because

A) if human rights claims are too ambitious, the governments' inability to protect them will undermine the idea of human rights.
B) the correct metaphysical justification for human rights entails that only negative rights are human rights.
C) people of different religions will be unable to agree about certain supposed rights, which will undermine the international human-rights regime.
D) human rights do not extend across international borders, meaning that people have no obligation to protect human rights in other countries.
