Opis

This is a valuable study of how rights consciousness and human rights consciousness fails to emerge, even in countries that strongly advocate human rights in their external policies, such as the Netherlands. It focuses on this important and widespread paradox about the difficulties of bringing human rights home. A valuable contribution to the global literature on human rights and socio-legal studies.
