This book fundamentally reinterprets the history of international
human rights in the post-1945 era by documenting how pivotal the
Global South was for their breakthrough. In stark contrast to other
contemporary human rights historians who have focused almost
exclusively on the 1940s and the 1970s - heavily privileging
Western agency - Steven L. B. Jensen convincingly argues that it
was in the 1960s that universal human rights had their
breakthrough. This is a ground-breaking work that places race and
religion at the center of these developments and focuses on a core
group of states who led the human rights breakthrough, namely
Jamaica, Liberia, Ghana, and the Philippines. They transformed the
norms upon which the international community today is built. Their
efforts in the 1960s post-colonial moment laid the foundation - in
profound and surprising ways - for the so-called human rights
revolution in the 1970s, when Western activists and states began to
embrace human rights.
