Fully updated, the sixth edition of International Human Rights
examines the ways in which states and other international actors
have addressed human rights since the end of World War II. This
unique textbook features substantial attention to theory, history,
international and regional institutions, and the role of
transnational actors in the protection and promotion of human
rights. Its purpose is to explore the difficult and contentious
politics of human rights, and how those political dimensions have
been addressed at the national, regional, and especially
international levels. Key features include: substantially revised
throughout, including new material on LGBTQ rights in Africa,
Indigenous peoples' rights in Guatemala, the Rohingya crisis in
Myanmar, and a new chapter on human rights and development; in-text
features such as discussion questions, suggested readings, case
studies, and "problems" to promote classroom discussion and
in-depth examination of topics; concise yet clearly organised and
comprehensive coverage of the topic. International Human Rights is
essential reading for courses and modules in human rights, politics
and international relations, law, criminal justice, sociology,
social work, public administration, and international development.
