The Origin of Human Rights and Self Determination with Human Rights Lawyer Peter Fam

Peter Fam is a human rights lawyer from Sydney, Australia. He believes that today's society has become detached from the principles our species has upheld and respected for thousands of years. 

We took a particularly deep dive into the origin of human rights, natural law and how that is evolving in today's post-modern society that is reimagining the human rights landscape. It forced us to ask deep epistemological questions to trace the authority of self-determination and the origin of truth.
