This incisive book provides an unparalleled insight into the ways
in which international human rights law functions in a real world
context across cultural, religious and geopolitical divides.
Written by a professor, former ambassador and international judge,
the book demonstrates how power, diplomacy, tactics and processes
operate within the human rights system from the perspective of a
non-Western insider with more than three decades' experience in the
field. Taking a comprehensive approach, chapters cover the
treatment of human rights in all major cultures, religions,
ideologies and global regions and assess the competence of all
relevant international institutions. The book investigates the idea
of human rights relativism and allegations of hypocrisy and double
standards, as well as illuminating the diplomatic methods employed
by nations wishing to evade human rights obligations. It also
analyses the place of the law within the United Nations and
regional human rights systems, along with compliance and
enforcement mechanisms, and examines two emerging dimensions of
human rights: in cyberspace and at sea. Students and scholars of
human rights across the fields of law, politics and international
relations will find this unique book invaluable. Its concise,
accessible style will also make it useful reading for government
officials, those working for NGOs and members of the public with an
interest in human rights.
