About Us

The Centre for Global Morality Ltd was incorporated as a not for profit company in September 2008 following research conducted by the directors on the effect of recent global changes on the enforcement of international human rights law.

The directors met whilst working at the Faculty of Business and Law at Kingston University in London. They started working on a project looking at the challenges for human rights in the future.

As part of this project, they examined the history of human rights enforcement, especially since 1945; and concluded that it had generally been undermined by divisions in the United Nations’ Security Council caused by the Cold War.

However, they found, that whilst not entirely perfect, there had been a change of attitude in the world since the start of the 1990s with regards to human rights; and argued that this could be attributed to the growing transnationalism associated with globalisation.

They have given a number of talks, and prepared papers, arguing that globalisation now represents a tipping point, not only in the enforcement of human rights, but in global morality in general, and the Centre was established in order to enable people to add to this growing momentum by facilitating dialogue and mutual understanding in the global community.
