Abstract
Betty Reardon has written extensively on human rights and human rights learning. It is important to mention at the outset that Reardon’s conception of human rights (here after HR), and human rights learning (hereafter HRL) are not independent concepts, but interdependent and interrelated within a holistic, comprehensive world view; Reardon is reluctant to atomize and separate fields such as peace, disarmament, abolition of war and sexism, to name a few, from the conceptions of HR and HRL.
