Few names are so closely connected with the cause of human rights
as that of Mary Robinson. As former President of Ireland, she was
ideally positioned for passionately and eloquently arguing the case
for human rights around the world. Over five tumultuous years that
included the tragic events of 9/11, she offered moral leadership
and vision to the global human rights movement. This volume is a
unique account in Robinson's own words of her campaigns as United
Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights. A Voice for Human
Rights offers an edited collection of Robinson's public addresses,
given between 1997 and 2002, when she served as High Commissioner.
The book also provides the first in-depth account of the work of
the Office of High Commissioner for Human Rights. With a foreword
by Kofi Annan and an afterword by Louise Arbour, the current High
Commissioner for Human Rights, the book will be of interest to all
concerned with international human rights, international relations,
development, and politics.
