Human Rights in Philosophy and Practice (Applied Legal Philosophy)

In addition to a philosophical discussion of key problems relating to the philosophy and practice of human rights throughout the world, there are specialist groups of essays on constitutional rights, minority rights, state sovereignty and human rights, global justice and self-determination, as well as a number which reflect the diversity of the political and legal development in the field of human rights in various regions of the world.Burton M.
