Description
"This book presents a wide-ranging survey of the scope and significance of international human rights law. Arranged thematically in alphabetical format, it sidesteps the traditional categories of human rights law, to investigate rights in the specific contexts in which they are invoked, debated, and considered. Entries are included on traditional topics such as children, the death penalty, and housing, along with newer issues such as arms, culture, and sexuality." "Throughout, the aim is to invite reflection on human rights in a way that avoids idealisation. For the authors, international human rights law is a process or tool, which is neither inherently beneficent nor essentially problematic, but always potentially both. This book provides the reader with the necessary background to understand, evaluate and, above all, deploy human rights as a strategy for change in the contemporary world."--Jacket.
