Julie Mertus highly acclaimed text continues to be the only
completely up-to-date comprehensive yet succinct guide to the
United Nations human rights system.
Today, virtually all UN bodies and specialized agencies are
undertaking efforts to incorporate the promotion or protection of
human rights into their programs and activities. The United Nations
and Human Rights examines these recent initiatives within the
broader context of human rights practice, including the promotion
of individual rights, management of international conflict and the
advancement of agendas of social movements.
The fully revised and updated second edition not only provides a
complete guide to the development, structure and procedures within
the UN human rights system, but also reflects the vital changes
that have occurred within the UN system, devoting considerable
attention to expanding the range of issues discussed,
including:
- new developments in the Office of the High Commissioner for
Human Rights
- the current controversy surrounding the new Human Rights
Council
- expanded treatment of economic and social rights.
A superb addition to any human rights syllabus, this book maintains
its position as essential reading for students and practitioners of
human rights, international relations and international law.
