This widely acclaimed and highly regarded book, used extensively
by students, scholars, policymakers, and activists, now appears in
a new third edition. Focusing on the theme of visions seen by those
who dreamed of what might be, Lauren explores the dramatic
transformation of a world patterned by centuries of human rights
abuses into a global community that now boldly proclaims that the
way governments treat their own people is a matter of international
concern--and sets the goal of human rights "for all peoples and all
nations." He reveals the truly universal nature of this movement,
places contemporary events within their broader historical
contexts, and explains the relationship between individual cases
and larger issues of human rights with insight.This new edition
incorporates material from recently declassified documents and the
most recent scholarship relating to the creation of the new Human
Rights Council and its Universal Periodic Review, the International
Criminal Court, the Responsibility to Protect (R2P), terrorism and
torture, the impact of globalization and modern technology, and
activists in NGOs devoted to human rights. It provides perceptive
assessments of the process of change, the power of visions and
visionaries, politics and political will, and the evolving meanings
of sovereignty, security, and human rights themselves.
