Considers the evidence of a "backlash" against human rights by the Government and the media, and analyses the conditions that have given rise to this phenomenon. Discusses how the insights of Nietzsche about resentment apply to the range of emotions invoked by human rights controversies. Assesses how the human rights movement should respond to the resentment of its detractors.
