Human Rights in the World Community – Issues and Action de Anna Grear

Human Rights in the World Community – Issues and Action: Pennsylvania Studies in Human Rights

Autor Anna Grear, Richard Pierre Claude
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 mar 2016
Specifically designed for educational use in international relations, law, political science, economics, and philosophy classes, "Human Rights in the World Community" treats the full range of human rights issues, including key paradoxes and contestations surrounding human rights, implementation problems, and processes involving international, national, and nongovernmental action. This new, expanded edition reflects the global, large-scale change that has occurred in the field of human rights, including the rise of terrorism and the triple threats of climate change, nuclear proliferation, and poverty, and each section features, as in previous editions, provocatively probing discussion questions. For the first time, the book's set of appendices are available online: a bibliography, which encourages further study; an annotated human rights filmography; and the texts of, and citations to, key human rights instruments.
