Through the life of one extraordinary man, this biography reveals
what the term human rights meant to the men and women who endured
two world wars, and how this major political and intellectual
movement ultimately inspired and enshrined the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights. Rene Cassin was a man of his
generation, committed to moving from war to peace through
international law, and whose work won him the Nobel Peace Prize in
1968. His life crossed all the major events of the first seventy
years of the twentieth century, and illustrates the hopes,
aspirations, failures and achievements of an entire generation. It
shows how today's human rights regimes emerged from the First World
War as a pacifist response to that catastrophe and how, after 1945,
human rights became a way to go beyond the dangers of absolute
state sovereignty, helping to create today's European project.
