Synopsis

Tracing the rise of human rights from the issues which came out of World War II, through the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Cold War, and on to the present day, this book highlights the issues themselves (at Nuremberg and in South Africa, Israel, Chile and elsewhere) and also shows how they link to the central phenomena of international relations. The role of the UN is covered in depth, and teaching notes and essential human rights documents accompany the text, which also includes discussion questions.
