The International Dimensions of Human Rights

'œA treatise resulting from a Unesco project to further education on human rights. This English version is an update and revision of the French version published in 1978. The authors are international experts and practitioners from all parts of the world. Part I covers the principles and norms of human rights, and Part II, the larger part, covers universal and regional institutions for the protection and promotion of human rights. The compendium forms a virtual encyclopedia of all the conventions, institutions, and procedures of international organizations in the field of human rights. The bibliography, supplemented by an index of international instruments, provides a guide to the complex maze of international activity. ... The work provides a non-US perspective on interpretation and activity that points out how much has happened even without leadership from the most powerful nation of the world, which previously had done so much to develop human rights. Highly recommended for all libraries serving upper-division and graduate students.'' ChoiceVasak, Karel is the author of 'The International Dimensions of Human Rights' with ISBN 9780313233944 and ISBN 0313233942.
