The Essentials of Human Rights (The Essentials of ... Series)

by Rhona K. M Smith

"The Essentials of Human Rights is an easy-to-use, accessible introduction to the human rights debate. It covers the history of human rights and uses examples of specific rights and freedoms to assess the current situation. The book surveys international legal systems and organisations like the UN as well as prospects for the future. Entries cover general categories of rights (including civil, political, cultural, women's, children's and migrants' rights) as well as particular issues such as slavery, genocide, free speech, capital punishment and asylum."--BOOK JACKET.
