Opis

This book presents a wide-ranging survey of the scope and significance of international human rights law. Arranged thematically in alphabetical format, it side-steps the traditional categories of human rights law, to investigate rights in the specific contexts in which they are invoked, debated, and considered. This book is an informative and accessible guide to key issues confronting international human rights law today. Each entry introduces key concepts, norms, and debates.

Recenzje

An excellent scholarly and introductory guide for graduate and doctoral students as well as practitioners [and]...also accessible to anyone interested in approaching the contemporary world through the lenses of human rights...this comprehensive critical approach to human rights is bound to have future editions in the years to come.
