Opis

Human rights have fallen on hard times yet they are more necessary than ever. People all over the world - from Amazonian villages to Iranian prisons - need human rights to gain recognition, campaign for justice, and save lives.

Recenzje

An excellent analysis of the full range of issues and tensions that characterize current human rights practice and governance today.
Sam Gregory, Harvard Kennedy School and Program Director, WITNESS

Alison Brysk makes a compelling, pragmatic, and, ultimately, optimistic argument for the incredible resilience of human rights. Combining insightful social science theory with evidence of human rights victories and setbacks, The Future of Human Rights provides a powerful diagnostic, offering vital lessons on the way forward.
Tom Pegram, University College London

Alison Brysk has read widely and thought carefully about human rights. The synthesis presented here, concise but sophisticated, is very much worth reading and pondering. She does not shy away from the problems, but also presents some positive possibilities for the future of human rights.
David P. Forsythe, University Professor Emeritus, University of Nebraska–Lincoln.
