Summary

"International Human Rights studies the ways in which states and other international actors have addressed human rights since the end of World War II. This unique textbook features substantial attention to the domestic politics of human rights, as well as an extensive emphasis on theory. The thoroughly updated fifth edition brings the theories and legal issues related to human rights into sharper focus with a streamlined eleven-chapter organization, separate treatments of rights-based theories and international relations theories, and updated case studies. International Human Rights allows readers to understand how and why human rights are violated, what international action can do to address these violations, and why human rights remain such a small part of international relations"--
