Human rights is often claimed as the 'idea' of our time. However,
although considerable time, energy and resources have been invested
in the idea, and extravagant claims are often made about progress
in providing machinery for the protection of human rights, there
are few signs that violations are any less common than in the past.
This book argues that while the USA was instrumental in
establishing the 'idea' of human rights as a dominant theme in the
day-to-day rhetoric of international relations, powerful economic
and political interests succeeded in ensuring that a strong
international regime for the protection of human rights did not
emerge.
