Human Rights and Civil Liberties

In a thoroughly revised edition of ""Universal Human Rights in Theory and Practice"" (more than half of the material is new), Jack Donnelly elaborates a theory of human rights, addresses arguments of cultural relativism and explores the efficacy of bilateral and multilateral international action. Entirely new chapters address prominent post-Cold War issues including humanitarian intervention, democracy and human rights, ""Asian values"", group rights and discrimination against sexual minorities.
