The Atlas of Human Rights: Mapping Violations of Freedom Worldwide (The Earthscan Atlas) - Softcover
Human rights have become synonymous with legal, political, social and even economic justice - as a means of overcoming oppression and discrimination irrespective of nationality, class, creed, gender, ethnicity, or even ideological commitment. As global governments are increasingly using a threat of terrorism to tighten national security, this critical investigation reveals inequities within the various interpretations of human rights and their applications worldwide. It covers a wide range of topics - from unfair detention and torture to racism, rape and child soldiers - and is divided into seven key parts:
- State, identity and citizenship
- Judicial violations and legal restrictions
- Freedom of expression and censorship
- Conflict and migration
- Discrimination
- Women's rights
- Rights of the child.
