Over the past 30 years, a growing number of human rights museums have stepped into the fray of the international human rights project. This dissertation explores the surprising ways that the history, theory, and practices of human rights museums and international human rights law (IHRL) are interrelated. Part I reviews the history of IHRL and identifies its structure and major actors, in order to establish the framework in which human rights museums now play a role. I then review the history of the museum as a political institution, including the type of human rights focused museums that have evolved since WWII, and the particular practices in which they are engaged.Part II tests human rights museum practices against three serious challenges for human rights law: (1) its claim to universality; (2) its lack of effectiveness; and (3) its position within the structures of state sovereignty. In Chapters 4-6, I rely on legal, political, cultural and critical theories to show how museum practices either support or combat critiques of IHRL.Part III is motivated by a desire to identify the ways in which museums influence actors, from individual visitors to larger communities, to the international human rights system. In order to move from the personal to the global levels of influence, Chapters 7-8 rely on legal theories about the construction and meaning of legal norms and the organizational theory of Etienne Wenger, showing the breadth and depth of museum work as it touches upon many levels of human rights practice. The dissertation concludes with a plea for further interdisciplinary exchange in order to solve the complex problems posed by human rights violations. Legal institutions should recognize museums as welcome partners to the human rights project and museums should be conscious of their impact on community understandings of the importance of the rule of law to the realization of human rights. Human rights norms should be ingrained in multiple sites and institutions throughout our society, so that changing the law into a force that oppresses some peoples' rights is an affront to society's values.
