Recenzii

Pease has authored a cogent and timely book on the 'clumsy and cumbersome' conduct of human rights and humanitarian diplomacy that is accessible and digestible. This is an important text for students and practitioners of diplomacy in all of its various forms.
While many textbooks on human rights tend to focus on legal process and the foreign policies of states, Pease’s important book examines the diplomatic processes that states, state-based actors, and global civil society actors undertake as they attempt to promote and protect human rights, and further develop and define international human rights standards. The book is able to both survey the topic of international human rights in a comprehensive way, while providing new and important insights about how different players interact to develop and implement human rights.
In spite of the rhetoric, human rights and humanitarianism are not yet on the side of the angels. Kelly-Kate Pease spells out with passion yet precision why controversy will continue to surround negotiations, but she also indicates how to make a difference in the next decade.
