"The United States and Human Rights" addresses the place of human
rights in U.S. policy, both domestic and foreign. The contributors
are leading analysts of international human rights, some having
considerable experience working with human rights organizations and
others providing expertise from such fields as law, developmental
anthropology, political science, and public diplomacy.
The first part of the book deals with human rights issues in
American society. The contributors focus on how international human
rights standards could improve American society in several areas,
including health care, the labor force, and refugee and immigration
affairs. Other essays analyze why the United States has been
hesitant to ratify human rights treaties. The second part of the
book deals with human rights issues in American foreign policy,
considering both stated ideals and the practical application of
those ideals. Of particular interest are the impact of public
opinion on humanitarian assistance and support for democracy
abroad, and how the persistent issue of universal human rights
affects U.S. relations with the United Nations, human rights
organizations, indigenous peoples, and particular countries.
