This title was first published in 2001: This book brings together
the experiences of a diverse range of leading human rights
advocates and activists to demonstrate strategies for protecting
human rights. The volume identifies strategic problems and
approaches and offers a range of strategies that hold promise for
sanctioning human rights offenders and for inhibiting the behaviour
of those who might otherwise engage in such activities. The
contributors include, inter alia, Noam Chomsky, Justice Richard
Goldstone of the Constitutional Court of South Africa who served as
Chief Prosecutor of the UN War Crimes Tribunals for the former
Yugoslavia and Rwanda, and David Rawson, United States Ambassador
to Rwanda during the tragic genocide. Those who work in the
disparate field of human rights increasingly understand the need to
see the system strategically rather than piecemeal. This volume
captures their insights and looks at both private and public
actors, including the uses and limitations of international fora to
prosecute violations. The focus is expanded to include private
actions because political issues too often interfere with
enforcement of human rights laws - allowing violators to hide
behind the unwillingness of national governments to take action.
