6. Conclusion

The move away from state actors will be resisted by the many powerful interests that benefit from the relative immunity provided by narrow conceptions of human rights.  However, in a world of growing poverty and marginalization, the constituency for a broader and truer vision of human rights grows ever larger and (thanks to new communications technology) ever more united.  For the human rights regime to remain relevant to this constituency it must be free to challenge the full range of actors that currently threaten human dignity.
