As our world becomes a truly global village through instantaneous
media transmission of events, the relationship between human rights
and peaceful international relations receives more and more
attention. David P. Forsythe's book analyzes and discusses the
dimensions of cover and overt human rights violations and how they
militate against the establishment of democracies in the Third
World. Part One describes the paradox of internationally recognized
human rights standards and international violence. Forsythe draws a
crucial comparison between the lack of overt force between
industrialized democracies and the use of covert force by certain
democracies against some elected Third World governments. Part Two
deals with human rights and intrastate violence. A creative
framework of analysis, centering on the concept of political
legitimacy, is illustrated by case studies of Sri Lanka, Liberia,
and Romania. Forsythe shows that, in different ways and in
different situations, the violation of human rights standards can
be correlated with political revolution."" "Human Rights and Peace"
evaluates critically the argument that human rights in general and
democracy in particular contribute to peaceful international
relations.
