Recenzje

"Bold yet carefully reasoned, this book reflects Rhoda Howard-Hassmann's deep commitment to human rights as a bulwark of protection and emancipation. Deeply important and timely." Shareen Hertel, University of Connecticut "In this eminently readable and engaging book, Rhoda Howard-Hassmann provides a serious consideration of the universality of human rights. It will make a very useful contribution to university classes as each chapter can be used to drill down into the particular topic it discusses, while the entire book can be read as a single argument." Ari Kohen, University of Nebraska
