Human Rights Education is one of the most effective ways of
preventing human rights violations. Yet human rights education in
schools is still not commonplace. Paula Gerber analyses why this is
so. Using a case study approach, she evaluates the extent to which
schools in Melbourne, Australia and Boston, USA are giving effect
to the human rights education norm in the Convention on the Rights
of the Child. In the process, the author exposes some of the legal
and educational obstacles to widespread school-based human rights
education. Interviews with teachers, government employees and NGOs
provide a rich source of data, and reveal numerous, and diverse
impediments to human rights education. The author offers a new
perspective on States' practices regarding human rights education,
and fresh ideas on how to increase States' compliance with relevant
international laws. Dr Gerber cleverly interweaves legal theories
regarding States' compliance with international human rights law,
with empirical research on educational practices, to produce an
engaging scholarly book relevant to all those interested in human
rights education, whether from a legal, educational, or political
standpoint.
