Abstract
Examines the ill effects of accepting the cosmopolitan ideal of advanced countries as a basis for asserting group rights Avenues for redress will be too narrow to relieve harms to developing countries and subjugated groups Indeed many of those harms will be wrought by the very group that espouses the cosmopolitan ideal Placing faith in international forums for human rights may be unwarranted if those bodies do not recognize claims for group uniqueness
